(Enterprising users can also delve deeper into the macOS settings and remap “paste and match style” to be Command-V, too, but that also requires more effort.)
Technically, there is already a way to do something similar on a Mac: if you paste with the convoluted four-key shortcut of Command-Shift-Option-V, instead of the usual Command-V, it will paste and match the style of whatever document you’re in. There’s also an option to only clear formatting when you ask Pure Paste to (either through clicking on the menubar icon or through a keyboard shortcut).įor those worried about security concerns, the developer notes that while the app does access your clipboard, it doesn’t store any data - or is even capable of connecting to the internet at all. Pure Paste is a neat new menubar app for macOS that aims to fix that: when it’s open, it automatically strips out any formatting on text you copy, allowing you to paste clean, unformatted text every time. Not the actual mechanism of getting words from one document to another, but the way that modern computers insist on trying to be overly helpful and copying not just the text I want, but all the formatting that comes with it, mucking up my emails and my documents. One of my biggest computer pet peeves is copying and pasting text.
