> What does it mean to be worst-in-class for text chat

Poor discoverability of, basically, everything, paste doesn’t support standard options like pasting text only without formatting, so cutting and pasting from format documents takes either manual format correction or using a third app to paste without formatting and the cut again to avoid the ransom-note look. Formatting that supports Markdown entry (kind of), but only Word-style WYSIWIG editing. Teams text chat is a major let down coming from, say, Slack.

What platform are you on? Doesn’t CTRL+SHIFT+V work for you?

Nope. Most Microsoft apps don't support this standard. I think for teams you have to add alt or something or other. I think this is macs only. Cmd shift opt v https://businesstechplanet.com/how-to-paste-without-formatti...

Ctrl-shift-V definitely does something different to Ctrl-V but it will still “helpfully” autoformat your input (mostly adjust indentation - removing white space for example) which kinda defeats the purpose in almost all circumstances beyond pasting a single line of english.

Those don't really come across as deal breakers though, just preferences.

It may not be to your liking but isn't it a bit dramatic to say "worst-in-class" without including the "for me" caveat?
