How to paste text only data to OneNote 2013?

Solution 1:

If you have a context menu key on your keyboard this can be accomplished with 2 presses.

I am sorry I cannot include a picture. It is located between the Windows Key and Ctrl on the right side next to the arrow keys.

The context menu will open and then you can press "T" this will perform the operation using only the keyboard at the location of the cursor.

Solution 2:

Found the answer here: Set the default paste in OneNote as "Keep Text Only"

In short,

1. Paste with Ctrl+V
2. Open "Paste Option" that appears at the right bottom of the pasted text.
3. Select plain text icon
4. Open "Paste Option" again and click "Set as Default Paste"

Solution 3:

Alternatively use AutoHotkey (https://autohotkey.com) with the following script block. This filters to only apply the shortcut if OneNote is active and in this case detects CTRL + SHIFT + V and translates it into ALT + H V T for paste keep text only.
