Problem

I use "Paste without formatting" very frequently, and the current shortcut key for doing it is cumbersome enough that it slows me down if I am trying to work through a lot of data. A clipboard management app I used to use, Clipboard History, would paste without formatting if I selected the element and pressed Shift-Enter. Would it be possible to add a setting to let users better control this? Thank you! I love the app!

You can just enable it in settings and then paste with Option+Enter.

I know it's closed, but it would be nice to be able to change the paste without the formatting shortcut.

@bastos Can you elaborate why would you need that?

[thomhines]

@p0deje I can't speak for @bastos, but I would still very much like this feature if possible.

I use Cmd-Alt-V to bring up Maccy because it's something I use all the time and it's similar to other keyboard shortcuts I use a lot. However, to paste without formatting the shortcut is Cmd-Shift-Enter, which requires me rearranging my hand into a completely different configuration. It slows me down and often causes me to mess up what I'm doing.

Being able to change the keyboard shortcut would allow me to make the keyboard shortcut something that is simpler and works better with the hand position I'm already in. Compared to my old clipboard manager, which allowed me to set this value, the difference is night and day.

Thank you for considering it!

@thomhines It makes sense, thank you for sharing that. I will put it on my TODO list.
