Why Ctrl+Shift+V Doesn't Remove ChatGPT Formatting
Paste without formatting only strips the outer style. The real artifacts stay inside the text.
Paste without formatting can remove fonts, colors, and rich text styles, but it often leaves the actual formatting artifacts inside the text.
That means your copied ChatGPT output may still include hidden markers, invisible characters, weird spacing, markdown leftovers, asterisks, headings, bullet marks, and code symbols.
CleanTextTools removes the embedded formatting characters themselves, not just the visual style.
