I have noticed when I select some text, copy, and then try and paste it into, for example, gmail, it keeps the formatting.

Not once in the past 10 years has this ever been a desirable feature for me.

I am currently using glipper as my clipboard manager.

It looks like if I just select my copy/paste entry (in glipper), it causes it to get sanitized.

How can I sanitize it automatically, every time I copy/paste?

My thought was maybe I would have to write a plugin for glipper, but there has to be some setting or hook that allows me to sanitize using just x.org.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

  • Doesn't really answer the question but in some environments Ctrl-Shift-V pastes without formatting.

  • Another not-really-answer: In those cases, I first paste into a plain text editor and than copy the text again.
