    Can't use CTRL+SHIFT V to paste unformatted text on my new PC


    I have a Microsoft Surface Laptop 3 bought last 2019. On it, I normally copy any text from anywhere using CTRL+C. Then when I paste it on Windows/Office apps like Outlook, Word, Teams, etc. using CTRL+SHIFT+V, it always results in pasting unformatted text.I got a new PC this year and it's running on Windows 11 same as my Surface Laptop. However, I cannot replicate the CTRL+C/CTRL+SHIFT+V combo in it. I remember doing something on the Surface Laptop so it could do that behavior. Unfortunately, I forgot how. Although I'm pretty sure there was no coding or tinkering with registry involved sin

    When using Quora (Win10 MS Edge) using Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V to cut and paste into a reply or comment results in the display of the HTML assciated with the text. How do I get just text?

    Using Web app Quora with WIn10 and MS Edge

    When I use CTRL+C to cut text from any website and then use CTRL+V to insert it into my Quora reply/comment the associated HTML is also displayed.

    The only way I can work around this is to

    • Paste the cut into Notepad (CTRL+V)
    • Recopy it (CTRL+C)
    • Paste the new snippet into Quora (CTRL+V)
    It appears from interaction with others on Quora that this is a MS Edge problem and the suggestion is I use Chrome instead.

    I would prefer to use MS Edge

    Any solution?

    BTW It is a sad comment that the Category list below does not include MS Edge but only refers to Internet Explorer...

    Generic Text Getting Pasted when Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V

    This is been happening for a week now. When I do Ctrl+C once, it copies and pastes the above generic text but when I do Ctrl+C twice the text that I have selected gets copied and pasted. However, when I do Ctrl+V again the generic text reappears in the
    paste screen again.

    Can't use CTRL+SHIFT V to paste unformatted text on my new PC

    Windows 10 Insider Preview Dev Build 21318 (RS_PRERELEASE) - Feb. 19 Insider

    Nice to know thanks, but I expect many are not aware of that. Can't use CTRL+SHIFT V to paste unformatted text on my new PC :)

    It would be cool if the hotkeys could be reversed so ctrl+v plain text and ctrl+shift+v formatted text.
