Babelfisch Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 There should be a way to past text (e.g. copied from a website) without format information. The common keyboard shortcut ist cmd+alt+shift+v but it does not work and there is also no menu item for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Andy Somerfield Posted October 2, 2014 Staff Share Posted October 2, 2014 I see no reason why we can't add this - I'll see if DaveH can put it in for you :) AndyS Babelfisch 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raskolnikov Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 What about an option "ignore spelling at all"? :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Harris Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 What about an option "ignore spelling at all"? :) Menu Edit/Spelling and uncheck "Check Spelling While Typing". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rhumbrecht Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 Was there any implementation of a "paste as plain text" feature like what was discussed on this thread? I'm having an issue right now where I copied some text from a website and it has a background "highlighter" color applied to it that I can't seem to remove. Maybe there's something I'm missing that lets me reset text formatting? I very often copy text from sites, then paste them into text blocks that are already styled on my document. Now, rather than keeping my documents text formatting, it adopts the formatting from the copied text. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hokusai Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 rhumbrecht, I don't know if this was ever added but there are some programs on the app store that will do this for you. TCleaner (the program name) has two versions, a free one and a paid one that will remove the formatting from copied text. I don't know how well it works but you might try the free one to see how well it works for you. I would like to see this added to Designer too (if it hasn't been added already). A preference would be great as there are occasions when I want the formatting and other times (most of the time) when I don't.

Hokusai Currently, I paste my text into my Terminal or Text Edit program and that strips all formatting. That seems to work ok, however I'd like to not have to take that extra step. Like I mentioned before, I used to create a text style in Illustrator, then anything I pasted into that paragraph would adopt those styles automatically. This was a huge part of my workflow and sped it up quite a bit. At the very least, I'd like to have a very quick "remove formatting" or "paste as plain text" button in Affinity. That would take out the extra step of pasting my text into another program first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hokusai Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 rhumbrecht, You are right, having a "remove formatting" button or the option to paste as plain text would be useful. Hopefully it will make it into Designer sometime in the future. I would imagine that sometime in the future they will add formatting styles so you would be able to do something similar to what you were doing with Illustrator. Just a guess. At least you have a work around for now. I would still try TCleaner (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/tcleaner-easy-change-clipboard/id952478594?mt=12) or another similar app (there are some free ones) to see if one of them works better for you.
