Paste without formatting not working in Google Docs

@dejaboom That is a known unfixed issue.
Was already reported to bug tracker.VB-64825 "Cannot Ctrl+Shift+V to Paste as Plain Text in Google Sheets" – Confirmed.
/edit: Updated tracker for 5.3.2679.38 & 5.4.2693.8 / Win 11.

@dejaboom Welcome in our Vivaldi Community

I found a solution and this does not appear to be a bug.
Solution: Install the Google Docs Offline extension. Now I can paste without formatting.
I believe this is installed by default with Chrome. If I disabled this extension in Chrome, I have the same problem of not being able to paste without formatting.

Hello all. Vivaldi has its own 'Paste as Plain Text' shortcut which I believe overrides Google's. I set it to ctrl+shift+v and it feels exactly the same as before. Not ideal, but a reasonable stopgap until Vivaldi fixes it.
-
possible workaround
Remove shortcut in Settings → Keyboard → Window → Paste&Go.
Double click the cell in Google Sheets before pasting with Ctrl + V, that should also remove any formatting.May be this helps to solve, had not tested yet, was told by Vivaldi Q&A team member.

@lightstream It is on chrome. Something similar is with office365 with chrome which pretty much says "I can't paste without my companion extension".

Not sure when the new shortcut was introduced, but now you can:
Ctrl-F12 -> Search for "paste" -> Paste as Plane Text
Set the shortcut to your liking. Eg Ctrl-Shift-V

I'm having a slight variation of this issue. I have my "Paste as Plain Text" shortcut in Vivaldi set to Ctrl + Shift + V, and it works perfectly within the main Vivaldi browser. But it does not work at all in "apps", meaning pages which I've set to open as PWAs in their own window.
This behavior is consistent on every single PWA, regardless of the actual site in the separate "app" window. It's a super annoying issue that I'd love to find a fix for.
I'm on Ubuntu 22.04 using Gnome with X11/Xorg
Anyone have any ideas?
