Here’s something I know affects plenty of users out there. Have you ever pasted text in a document or email message, only to have it formatted differently than all the text around it? Irritating, right?<\/p>\n

There’s an answer, thanks to the Keyboard & Mouse pane in System Preferences. If you click the Keyboard Shortcuts tab, you can assign “Paste Without Formatting” and\/or “Paste and Match Style” to Command + V for all applications. Just click the \u00a0button under the list, type in the name of the appropriate menu items, and press \u2318-V in the Keyboard Shortcut box.<\/p>\n

One note: Panic designer Neven Mrgan found that using this tip means you won’t be able to paste images into iChat using Command + V. Dragging and dropping (or choosing Paste from the Edit menu) still works, though. Update: If you explicitly add \u2318-V in as a shortcut for Paste that’s specific to iChat, you can restore the image paste capability without breaking the global shortcut.<\/p>\n

Apps that don’t have either of those menu items will still default to regular old “Paste” for the same key command. Paste away!<\/p>\n
