Description of the new feature / enhancement

A lot of times, I want to copy text and paste it without any formatting.
Just as plain text...

What I currently have to do is to:

  1. Copy the text
  2. Paste it into a notepad
  3. Copy from notepad (formatting removed now)
  4. Paste it into the target location

I am sure that for 99% of use cases, users just want to copy it as plain text always.
Anyway, why does this simple thing needs to be complicated?
Please make a feature that enables copy as plain text always by default.
This is how it should work.
And if I want to copy the formatted text, I don't care to use it by right click menu.

Scenario when would this be used?

To reduce this scenario into 2 steps (copy and paste)

I don't like the idea of copy plain text by default, but I would love to have an alternate keyboard shortcut like Ctrl+Shift+C or Win+C to copy unformatted text.
