          @georgehaxton What version of Opera are you using? It has been a long while that Opera has that shortcut.

                  @georgehaxton The shortcut is listed next to the menu item. It's Ctrl Shift V like I said. If it isn't working for you, try resetting your keyboard shortcuts in settings page.

                      @georgehaxton paste without format. It's valid for any menu item that has a keyboard shortcut.

                          @georgehaxton Anything inside a menu. For example, if you tight click on the reply box you will see a menu with some itens like Emojis, Undo, Paste, Paste Without Formating, amomg others.

                            When I right-click in this reply text field in Opera, I see Paste as plain text Ctrl + Shift + V. I also see it in the right-hand pane for https://www.w3schools.com/jsref/tryit.asp?filename=tryjsref_doc_designmode for an actual WYSIWYG editor that accepts pasting HTML. I can also confirm there that Opera pastes with formatting when using paste and without formatting when using "Past as plain text". I can also confirm that the keyboard shortcut works.

                            At the URL opera://settings/keyboardShortcuts in Opera though, I don't see "Paste" or "Paste as plain text" listed. So, those actions don't seem to be configurable (except maybe with an extension). But, Ctrl + shift + v works fine for me.

                                @georgehaxton What happens when you try to use it? Adding it to the shortcuts list will only allow you to change the shortcut.

                                  @georgehaxton said in Paste without formatting!:

                                  ctrl shift v doesn't work for me ever.

                                  That's weird. It works fine for me on Windows 10.

                                    There is a neat workaround that I found. I'm assuming you are a mac user since I also had this problem on my mac. Go to System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts > App Shortcuts and click the + button and add a new shortcut called "Past and Match Style", then enter the shortcut "command shift v". Now I think it the shortcut will work.

                                        @genius0n9 I also have mac and it's not cross-browser at least for me. And when going to the menu bar for Opera, I have to press four buttons to paste without formatting. When I try to change it within the Opera settings there's no options.

                                          @euiaiia What four do you have to press? Yea, Its good on mac but not seamless. This is why i suggested adding it to the shortcuts in the settings
