Isn’t that ctrl+shift+v? It is for Linux and I think windows too?

The simpler keystroke should do the more common operation. My guess is 90-99% of the time, users want to paste text and match the format to the existing doc or app. Therefore, cmd+v should strip formatting if done according to that rule.

Yeah, but who knows that? Apparently the author of the article doesn't know that.

Anyway, my app lets you see what's in the clipboard and adjust how much you want it cleaned.

On Mac, the apps I happened to check use cmd+shift+alt+v.

I checked MS Teams, Outlook, Mail.app, and Safari.
