        @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

                            Hi!

                            I use Windows 10 and the ctrl+shift+v doesn't work at all.

                            I have disabled the shortcut native to Opera GX as you guys said above.

                            Also, when I right-click a Google spreadsheet it will appear the option to paste without format, but it doesn't work even if I click the option...

                            I really like Opera but it this shortcut doesn't work I will have to go back to Chrome because I have to use this function all day at work 😕

                              @ckattab Oh good news, I fixed it!

                              I installed Google Drive offline extension and it somehow enabled the copy/paste

                              Now everything works well ❤
