When copying text from one application and pasting it into another one, you usually get to keep the formatting of the text as well. With formatting, I here refer to font size, text color, bold, hyperlinks, et cetera. There are times when you don’t want to keep this formatting, but just the plain and unformatted text content. This is your solution. It is a tiny (11kb) EXE-file, and it runs unobtrusively in the background as a service.

That means, when run, it hides in the background. Whenever you press Ctrl+shift+v, it will remove all formatting from the contents of your clipboard, and then paste the unformatted content right where you want it. More Info »
