Description

Currently, it appears to be impossible to copy text from a document/file as "plain text" without any formatting. According to the description of the shortcut keys, there should be a way to copy the selected text without any formatting as "plain text" using CTRL + SHIFT + V. However, this shortcut does the opposite: It pastes the text as "plain text", instead of copying it. This suggests a discrepancy between the documentation and the actual functionality in the program.

I have attached a screenshot to illustrate the problem.

Is there another method to copy the selected text as "plain text" without any formatting? If so, how?

• Can you reproduce the issue?

Steps to reproduce

1. Select the text you want to copy.
2. Press CTRL + SHIFT + V.
3. Observe the result -> The contents of the clipboard have been pasted. But this contradicts the documentation: "Ctrl+Shift+V - Copy selected text as plaintext"

Expected behavior:

CTRL + SHIFT + V should copy the selected text as plain text so that I can paste it elsewhere, e.g., in Notepad++.

Actual behavior:

CTRL + SHIFT + V pastes text from the clipboard as plain text into the document in MarkText.
