What's new in PowerToys 0.68.1

First of all, you can now make 'Paste as Text' handle the default Ctrl + V shortcut in any app. So regardless of the app you use, you will paste text without formatting all the time. Microsoft warns that in this configuration you may have key conflicts in some apps. You may be unable to paste the clipboard content using the keyboard.

Also, Paste As Plain Text now supports pasting multiple times as Ctrl+V does (on pressing activation key while holding modification keys).

In this version of PowerToys, developers have changes the default key sequence to Ctrl+Win+Alt+V for Paste as Plain Text to avoid conflicting with new Windows volume mixer shortcut.

Finally, PowerToys Run now has an option to disable file thumbnail generator to narrow down the root case of its crashes.

You can get PowerToys from the Microsoft StoreGitHub, or install it with winget. For the latter, use the following command: winget install powertoys -s msstore.
