Paste copied text without formatting in Google Chrome

There's a chrome extension that gives you a small icon to click to copy-and-paste w/o formatting when you highlight text.

To quote them:
- Use your keyboard: press a customizable keyboard shortcut (Default to Ctrl+Shift+C).
- Use your mouse: click on a floating button which will appear after you select something in Chrome.
- Auto-Copy (off by default): the selected text will be automatically copied to clipboard (unformatted) as soon as you release your mouse and finish the selection.

meh I just copy into notepad, then copy from notepad to wherever I see fit.

I use PureText, which gives me the Win-V shortcut (customisable) to paste unformatted text into any application I wish.

Yes you could just open notepad, paste it, select all, copy it and then paste it into the application you're using but at 29KB, this is a far quicker, easier and very light solution.

More useful surely would be Ctrl + Shift + C allowing you to *copy* unformatted text (although this key combo is already in use).

Um, this is not a "new addition." It's been around for as long as I've been using Chrome, which is I think 2 years now.

Agree that ctrl+shift+c would be great. You can get an extension to do it, but who has time for that?

Microsoft Office products have had this for ages, no? Including Outlook.

I always paste in their apps using CTRL + ALT + V, which kicks in the Paste Special box, with a load of paste options, including "unformatted text".
