Thanks, Tony. I'll take a look.

Re: Remove formatting function
A quick work-around for your problem until Vlad can install an appropriate option would be to use Puretext (http://www.stevemiller.net/puretext/).



With one click on its taskbar icon it takes out all format information from whatever is currently stored in the Windows clipboard

I am not using any short cut application. Does anybody else have experience using this method?




All I can tell you is it works fine for me. I'm using the portable version, works on Win 7 Ultimate and Home, plus Vista machines...

I've just double-checked everything from my end - on Windows 7, using AllMyNotes version 2.67, it works.

Say, are you using some other app which could install global keyboard shortcut for this combination of keys?

There is no such menu items because we are trying to keep the UI simple.



P.S. Let's do it this way - if you'll reconfirm that it still doesn't works (no other app conflicting with AllMyNotes can be found), I'll create new keyboard shortcut for you.

Great, thanks. Actually, it is currently not possible to paste this a plain text. I use a Windows 7 PC and I don't understand why I cannot mirror the instructions given. Perhaps these methods aren't being tested on Windows operating system/Windows 7? Ctrl+x cuts it but ctrl+v / ctrl+alt+v simply pastes it back down in the format it was cut (which it should do, so not sure why it is expected to paste it down as plain text text?). There is no paste as plain text option in the context menu when right clicking in the program either.

Ok, filed as a feature requests - to allow quick format removal instead of current Cut+Paste As Plain text thing.

Hi,



It would be nice to see a 'remove formatting' function on the editor although I appreciate that this can be bypassed by cutting and pasting.
