Hit Ctrl+Shift+V by accident and realized I was pasting styles wrong for months

I was working on a 40-page set of plans last Tuesday and kept fighting with text formatting. Every time I pasted something from a spec sheet it would bring over all the font garbage. Turns out there's a paste without formatting shortcut in basically every drafting program. I've been manually cleaning text for like 3 years like a dummy. Anyone else have a basic shortcut they slept on forever?

oh man i feel this so hard. i was pasting stuff from emails into my layout files for ages and it kept bringing in all this hidden formatting like random line breaks and weird fonts. i finally got so annoyed i looked it up and found the plain text paste thing. now i use it all the time. it saved me so much time on a big project last month where i had to copy like 50 product descriptions. felt like such a win.

50 product descriptions with plain paste sounds like a nightmare to me actually.
