Thanks so much for this - I can't imagine how much time I have wasted jumping through goofy hoops trying to change the formatting in gmail.

If only there was a way to set this as the default and format pasting as the shift setting.

FWIW, shift+command+v works for me...

I used to paste to use the URL bar to paste without formatting and copy again. This is a game changer.

hah you're right, I don't know why I had that option in there, maybe snuck into my muscle memory from something else.

maybe it was in one of the older macs I had to use recently, or some combination with voiceover that I was running.
