P: Paste Unstyled Text

In Photoshop I would like to be able to paste “unstyled” text as an option. In OS X one can do this by holding Command-Option-Shift-V. The pasted text will then take on the default style as determined by the document, losing any specific formatting from its source. At present, if I want to paste the content of one styled field to another, Photoshop forces me to roundabout to an external editor, strip the styling there, then return to PS to paste. Life could be simpler.

This would be a seriously simple tool addition, and incredibly valuable. Any new response from Adobe on this one? Other Adobe apps already have this, so it would only make their suite more consistent.

Many other programs have a Cmd + Shift + V to "paste as plain text" option. This would be a great tool to have.

Hey Adobe, what about this 3 year old idea?
I would really love to paste unformatted text 🙂

It would be great to have the ability to paste text without formatting into photoshop text layers, e.g. by pressing ctrl+shift+v like in Indesign

yea me too was looking for a similar function in photoshop. Gmail have the feature to paste as plain text while composing. ( right click> paste as plain text)

That is a serviceable workaround, I’ll give you that. But it still requires more planning and thought — more cognitive load — than the simpler unstyled paste. Not to take away from your suggestion, just differentiating the two, for the record.
