Microsoft's open-source PowerToys tool is a great way to customize your Windows experience.
Thanks to work done by the community, PowerToys is getting a new feature - the ability to paste text as plain text.
Sometimes you want to paste internet content as plain text.
It is already possible to paste text as plain text in browsers like Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, and Mozilla Firefox, thanks to the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + Shift + V. Ctrl + Shift + V also works in web apps like Teams.
Microsoft is working on a new PlainText module for PowerToys to address this problem.
In a future update, you'll be able to paste any text as plain text in any app where PowerToys works.
