Feature request: Add "Paste Without Format"...

[Chris Christner]

 ...to the mouse right-click pop-up menu. Thanks!

I would also like this to be settable as a default option for paste.

I rarely want to paste with formatting. For now, I've altered the keyboard shortcut so that Command+V has a binding to Paste Without Format instead of Paste. I guess that's an OK solution for me, but I imagine lots of others will never do that.

The problem with doing that is you lost formatting when cutting and pasting within the same document. What I suspect you (and I) really want is for Affinity Publisher to offer a setting like this:

Paste from other applications: <paste with format | paste without format>

I know some people would prefer to paste with format because they want to leverage MS Word styles, while people like you and me don't want styles created when importing copy from an external source.

I def would like this AND "paste format" features.
