To save articles from the internet (mostly text) this is what I do: Insert a new document in the tree, copy selected text from the browser (Ctrl-C) and then paste it (Edit > Paste Advanced > Paste Text) in the new document. To avoid pictures and unwanted content, I have to do this in several steps to highlight and copy separate chunks of text. The result is a text document in the default (normal Ariel 10) font.
I have come to rely on this method after experiencing undesirable results from other methods, including unwanted content, unwanted automatic download of the content and unpredictable font and format.
Is there a better way to do this instead of navigating through "Edit > Paste Advanced > Paste Text" every time to paste simple text in default font? I cannot use Ctrl-V to paste because it triggers unnecessary download in unpredictable format.
Is there a short cut key for "Edit > Paste Advanced > Paste Text” or is it possible to map Ctrl-V to “Paste Text?”
Copy/Paste Text from the Internet
Yes, you can use the Paste Plain Text command (Shift+Ctrl+V).
Great. Thanks Petko. How about showing this short cut in the menu (Edit > Paste Advanced > Paste Text). As a matter of fact, how about showing all missing shortcuts wherever appropriate in the menus?
Paste Text is a different command - it pastes the text using the current formatting, where Paste Plain Text pastes it with default formatting.
This is why the shortcut is now shown - Paste Text has no default shortcut.

Is current formatting what is selected or currently showing in the Style, Font and Size lists on the Formatting toolbar? Where is default formatting set?
Yes, current formatting is what is currently in the style/font/etc. The default formatting is Normal style.
