    Ctrl + Shift + V will paste a selection in plain text.

    Also I keep quick notes in Notepad++ because it’s just as easy to open and it has persistent windows in case something happens.

      Because MS in their infinite Wisdom only baked that functionality into some of their apps, and even in some apps where that functionality exists, sometimes it’s a different keybind.
