You can Ctrl+shift+v to paste plain text in windows.

In some cases. In others, the application does whatever it wants.

And funnily enough, Office for Mac doesn’t allow you to do this, or at least it didn’t used to. I think I may’ve just noticed that it’s started working.

Doesn’t work for me. The absolute most infuriating thing is that copying text out of OneNote pastes as AN IMAGE. The only way around this is sanitizing the text in a notepad on the host machine itself.

Obsidian has a mildly infuriating default of opening previews with ctrl shift v keys instead of pasting with no formatting.
