Hello,
I would like to be able to copy-paste text without transferring the
format. I'm using F19 with KDE.
Currently, when I copy-paste (between Firefox, LibreOffice, etc),
formatting like font, font size and font attributes get also copied and
pasted. But I am looking for a way to copy-paste such that the format of
the original text is discarded and instead the format of the target
document is used, as if I had typed the text on the keyboard.
(My wife uses the following trick on Windows: copy-paste text into
URL-field of the browser, then copy-paste from URL-field to destination).
Try a right click and see if there's a "paste without formatting"
option. It depends on the receiving application. If not, keep a copy of
your favorite text editor open and use that as a mid-point.
