Krikey I have done it a million times now no?  excel, word, etc

Is there a global setting to switch to paste text = txt?

I hate that shit, but have not found an option to do it automatically. And even BBEdit (my current text editor) maintains some of the formatting which just PISSES ME OFF.

So now (cue laugh track) I paste things I want text only into VI, then copy and paste into their final destination.

Frigging PIA.

/p

lol thanks for the vent. 

actually thats the only way on the PC also. paste into notepad first. i dont even think there is a reg hack.

hmmm

that woudld take it from three to two actions wouldnt it?

erm checking

thats what I have always done, even tell clients to do it when they use a CMS that magically copies RTF and Word formating.

copy from source.
paste to notepad
copy from notepad
paste to destination

I start notepad (notepad2 actually) with ctrl-alt-n for this very reason.

paste special
