Paste as text and remove line breaks

[codemaster2837]

Description of the new feature / enhancement

I like the "Paste as text only" function. It would be great to extend this function with "Paste as text and remove line breaks". This should be enabled when using the key combination Win+Ctrl+Shift+V. This feature would be very useful when copying text blocks from PDF files to other applications.

Scenario when this would be used?

Coping text from PDF files to other applications (browser, Word, etc.)

@codemaster2837 would you want this is to be a setting that applies to how the current paste as plain text shortcut functions, or would you want a completely separate shortcut that allows you to paste as plain text and remove line breaks?

Hello ethan-fang-MS,
thanks for following up on the issue. It should be a separate shortcut, as it is useful in the day-to-day workflow to have two options (1. remove format only, but keep line breaks; 2. remove formats and remove line breaks).
