Paste and Match Style - Default?
I find that "Paste and Match Style" is more often useful than just "Paste" when I am copying text. Is there a way to make this the default behavior? The (long) keyboard shortcuts are also inconsistent between applications and difficult to remember. For example:
TextEdit - ⌥+⇧+⌘+V
Chrome - ⇧+⌘+V
This will do the trick:
- Go to System Preferences / Keyboard / Keyboard Shortcuts / Applications.
- Click the + button.
- Choose All Applications, from the drop-down list.
- On the menu title field add the exact name of the menu bar item.
- Pick your keyboard shortcut and click Add.
In case you overwrite the default Command+V shortcut, if the application lacks the Paste and Match Style option, paste will work as usual.
