How to copy/paste text without formatting by default?

rated 0 times [ 4] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 18593 / 3 Years ago, sat, july 10, 2021, 9:12:25

I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 and I find it annoying that by default the copy/paste functionality also pastes the text format. Most of the time when I copy/paste text I only want to paste the ascii text without any formatting. Is there a way to configure that behavior?

I use parcellite . It keeps a history of the clipboard.
