r/vivaldibrowser on Reddit: Can't get Ctrl+Shift+V working in Google Docs
April 14, 2021 -

I only noticed this happening today, but it's a shortcut I use all the time so I'm already at my wit's end. I know I can just paste it in a note and copy that or I can highlight and remove formatting, but after years of using keyboard shortcuts this one is just second-nature to me so it's driving me crazy when it doesn't work.

Right clicking and selecting "Paste without formatting" is working fine. And for a little bit Ctrl+V didn't work either, but it started working again. But Ctrl+Shift+V does absolutely nothing.

I already removed it from the keyboard shortcuts. And it works perfectly fine when I open up Chrome. I tried installing Google Drive's extension. The only topics I can find about this are with Google Sheets and that's actually working perfectly fine for me.

I'm on Windows and I have the latest version of Vivaldi.

EDIT -- I went to re-check the shortcuts again to see if I missed anything else that might be interfering and I saw that Vivaldi had its own Paste Without Formatting shortcut for some reason, and that it was blank for some reason. So I set that to Ctrl+Shift+V.

Hopefully this post helps someone else.
