      Linux too, at least in most applications I’ve tried. Some will ask you when you ctrl+shift+v if you want to paste formatted or unformatted text.

      Can anyone confirm if that keeps Jira from doing that “uploading an image” thing when pasting text?

      Is there something like this for Mac users that have this stupid behavior ported over through the MS Office suite?

      Ctrl + Shift + V should paste without formatting, but for some reason Microsoft Office software (Outlook, Word, Publisher) refuses to follow this standard.

      I’ve been on Windows since 3.0 and only recently learned that. Use it almost every day now.

        Same, I’ve been using PCs with Microsoft operating systems since fuckin’ MS-DOS 3.2 and I only learned about it a couple years ago.

      You copy some text from a webpage and put it in your email or word processor, it copies the formating too and everything looks wonky. If you paste the clipboard content in a text editor, like notepad and copy the text from there, you strip the formating.

        You copy some text from a webpage and put it in your markdown/LaTeX document in your text editor, like vim. Then you use pandoc/pdf-latex to export in whatever file format you need. It never looks wonky, it looks exactly like you tell it to.

    Every text editor removes formatting, plain txt files don’t have any format. but text editors, like Notepad are very usefull to edit eg, config files or scripts, where isn’t desirable to change the original format. There are apps way more useless than Notepads-

      I just the other day edited a Steam config file with some wacky file extension by cracking it open in notepad. Bless plain text.

            Thanks but this won’t pass the firewall. If it is not already installed or in the “application store” we can’t download it. Even PDF files are scanned and sometime restricted.

              You can email inside a password protected zip file renamed to myfile.mp4 or ideally some obscure file format it won’t know.

              Other than that, you could ask supervisor but I’ve dealt with business dweebs enough not to bother asking. I’d just bring some old laptop with smb filesharing plus a dhcp server running from the ethernet port and hook that ditectly into the work pc then copy the file.

              Me I just clone tge corpoOS image, install promox then run shitty corpoOS in a VM and do my actual work on a VM without the bullshit.

              If anyone asks anything, I’ll tell them about my extensive gun collection.

                This don’t work anymore they scan the the file header and if they found a zip it is blocked.

                If you remove the file header it is rejected because no file header,

                if you switch a file header like jpg they remove the picture from the email and you have a web side to see it.

                The picture seem transformed too, you can’t get it change the header and unzip.

                We can’t even send a picture in a email to outside emails adresse.

                Ho violence and threat… Yeah this is know yo solve computers issues

                  Burn down the building before this big brother revenge of the nerd bullshit spreads.

                  But calling bs on that on tgat file header thing. They would have to even block text files. Many types of files have no headers.

                  And that shitty surveillance software didn’t get a file header interpreter of every business useful file type.

                  Use your imagination, there are still dozens more ways to bypass IT security and make it look like that brown nosing colleague did it.

                  Just send the file as base64 chunks if you have too. Life without ditto clipboard manager should not be tolerated and neitger should big nerd brother sufferred to live.

                ARF, we don’t have the mocrosfot store but a custom one with curated apps. (There is like 50 apps in it and nearly all of them are business related)

                  If you can install any apps directly then you can get the installer for this from it’s Github repository, but judging by how locked down your system is, maybe just make a request to IT for it instead, it’s an open source utility app made by Microsoft themselves, so shouldn’t be an issue.
