Paste text in Illustrator 2020 without formatting

Hey everyone, is there a keyboard shortcut I'm missing to be able to paste text from A to B without B inheriting A's format/style? 

 

I've been using Sketch and Figma for awhile and only just picked up Illustrator again so I'm relearning keyboard shortcuts. Appreciate the help!

Additionally, Illustrator might have disabled your preferred formatting.

Look under Settings (aka, Preferences) under Clipboard Handling -- uncheck "When Pasting...Paste text without Formatting". Then use the quick key references like Gerone mentioned if need to paste text with no formatting.

This had been a pain for me over many months after upgrading systems. Hopefully this helps.

The workaround has worked for the OP. That's why I think.
