Keyboard shortcut for pasting - 'keep text only'
Does anyone know if there's a keyboard shortcut to paste text with the 'keep text only' option?
I know you can do this via the Paste dropdown menu but a keyboard shortcut would save a lot of time.

This feature needs to be implemented as soon as possible. It's been 13 years and we still have to go through a dropdown menu. That's unnaceptable for such an expensive software. FYI Google presentations has a keyboard shortcurt with Ctrl + shift + V which pastes text only...
This is maybe the simpliest and most urgent feature (cost me a loooooooooooooot of time on EVERY project), should have been a day 1 feature, but instead they are pushing IA slop… At every update I'm testing ctrl+maj+v, hoping they implemented it without mentioning it… always disappointed.
13 YEARS ! Seriously ?! Just let us to edit shortcuts like any software.
Hello MauricioVessoni,
Thanks for following up on this thread. I hear you, a keyboard shortcut for “Keep Text Only” would make a big difference for quick editing.
I’ve added your comments to the existing feature request, so your input is included.
Same!!! We urgently need this!
Hi jenarau,
Thanks for adding your voice here. There isn’t a keyboard shortcut yet for pasting with the “Keep Text Only” option in Storyline 360. I’ve shared your note with our product team so they’re aware this continues to be important for your workflow.
For now, you’ll still need to use the Paste dropdown to select “Keep Text Only.” I know that adds extra clicks, especially when moving large amounts of text, so I’ve included your feedback in the existing feature request to help prioritize it.
Did this ever get fixed? Is there a shortcut to paste and 'keep text only'?
It would be great to see the ability to keep the source formatting. Since we cannot change the default font in the Notes section. I type things into Word and paste them into the Notes section. I also have to leverage Word to use Grammarly. Please add my vote to have better paste options.
Adding a vote for this feature... it would certainly make my life easier! : )
PLEASE ADD THIS!
I'm really hoping that we have this shortcut after 7 years of waiting? I even requested this feature in person during the Learning Technologies 2019 in London. This would safe A LOT of time, really. Give us this option PLEASE!
Hi,
I have the same question, but with Paste Options > "Keep Source Formatting (K)".
Can anyone explain what the "K" second level shortcut means and how to use it?
If I press Ctrl+V+K I still get the default paste, which I guess is "Use Destination Theme".
Thanks
Hi Mihai,
I have exactly the same question. Did you work it out?
Hello Seth,
We are currently tracking a known issue which is causing keyboard shortcuts for the paste function to not work properly. When text is copied, the Paste options show up to three options with assigned shortcut keys. While it works if you click each option, the shortcut keys don't do anything.
We'll let everyone here know as soon as a fix is released for this issue!
Hi Mihai,
I found this thread with exactly your question. It sure would be nice to have an answer from the Articulate staff :)
Thanks for following up, Ellen! We've prioritized other bug fixes for our upcoming releases. We have a workaround documented which is to select the paste icons instead of using shortcuts.
If our team reroutes, I'll be sure to update this discussion.
Don't you know that's how rumors start Timothy :) I am utilizing 360 in Parallels within my Mac - but you know the keyboard rules ;)
Not on my Mac apparently - I was going to learn something new from you Jim :)
Leslie, Storyline 360 works on a mac? I installed a virtual windows machine specifically for this program.
