Description Christian Gogolin 2017-01-03 13:40:18 UTC 
When composing html emails the text from the clipboard can be pasted without keeping the formatting with the "Paste As Text" entry in the right click context menu. This is a function I use very often and I imagine I am not alone . Unfortunately, to the best of my knowledge, there is no keyboard shortcut for this action.

It would be ge great if "Past As Text" could be bound to Ctrl-Shift-V, for example, as is the case in some other applications (libreoffice for example), that have a similar functionality.

Thanks for a bug report. The gtk+ allows to redefine shortcuts for menu items, when it is enabled in some preferences, but as I do not recall exact details, I made the change in the code as you suggested, except Ctrl+Shift+V is already used for Paste as Quotation, thus I used Ctrl+Alt+V (paste alternative text).
