Paste unformatted
Tired of having to paste into a text editor as a middle step to get rid of text formatting when moving content between web and rich text documents, or between two richttext docs? It's as tiresome as reading the previous sentence.
Some recieving applications can handle this for you by having a command to paste unformatted:
Openoffice / Libreoffice
Ctrl+Shift+V (then Return)
Abiword
Ctrl+.
If anyone has a tool that will clean the clipboard directly, drop me a line.
