There is no such shortcut, nor menu command for "Paste Plain Text" in Safari.

There is one for "Paste and Match Style", which pastes the text in the same style as the style at the insertion point.

As you can see, its shortcut it Command Shift Alt V.

Chrome may well have different shortcuts from Safari.

Safari's cache mainly concerns web content, and is unlikely to affect menu shortcuts.

r/macbookair on Reddit: Command+Shift+V doesn't paste without formatting on Google Docs
July 19, 2020 -

Hey everyone

Google Docs specifically states that the key combination for pasting without formatting is Command+Shift+V when I'm on my macbook air 2020, but it doesn't work at all.I tried other possible key combinations, and I'm on a Turkish Q keyboard, idk if that would make a difference.

When I copy something and also try pasting by right clicking, the paste without formatting option is greyed out and pressing on paste does nothing either. Is there way I can fix this behaviour?

I tried setting hotkey through the Accessibility options but when I do that the pasting process gets rid of the hyperlinks which I don't want to do.

Thanks in advance.

Fix: Command Shift V Not Working on Mac Ventura/Google Docs
August 4, 2026 - The standard shortcut to paste the content and have the format fit the target document is Option-Shift-Command-V now. Command Shit V is only used to paste without formatting in Google Docs.

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.
