Paste text without formatting

Is there a way to paste formatted text form the clipboard unformatted in the Team Chat in the app?

I can't seem to be able to find one for such a basic functionality. Constant clearing the formatting gets quite tedious.

Every major browser now supports Ctrl+Shift+V for this.

(Please don't suggest using some Notepad as an intermediate step)

Dear @petr_slavik ,
which operating system are you on?

On Mac Shift+Option+Command+V works for me.

The edit menu of work place should show you a "Paste and match style" option, and should also show you which key combination to use.

@stueker thanks for finding time to answer. I am on Windows 10 and I have the latest version of the app 6.5.7 (9933).

As I said Ctrl+Shift+V doesn't work here (or any other combination of Ctrl, Alt, Shift, V keys).

I'm not sure what you are referring to as "edit menu of work place", could you please elaborate?

@petr_slavik I am on Mac, so I am not familiar with the current appearance on Windows.
On Mac you still have the old style, program specific menu bars with the classical drop-down menus "File, Edit, etc.". In the Edit menu on Mac you can see the paste+match style option and what key short cut it is associated is.
Windows has gotten rid of the traditional menu bar a while ago, I believe.

I am reaching out internally to find out what the correct short cut for paste and match style on Windows is.
I'll keep you posted.

@petr_slavik I have received feedback from the Team Chat team. It seems that the option for pasting unformatted text (or matching the formatting to the text that is being pasted into) does not exist for the Windows client.

Oh, that is unfortunate. Is there any way to submit feature request? 🙂
