Q: How do I paste without formatting in a Junk Yard note?

In the note editor, press ⇧⌘V to paste as plain text — the words come in without the fonts, colours or styling of wherever you copied them from. A normal ⌘V keeps the formatting. That's useful when you're collecting text from web pages or emails and want the note to look consistent. You can then apply your own bold, lists or monospace with the editor's buttons or ⌘B, ⌘I and ⌘U.

Short answer: In the Junk Yard note editor, press ⇧⌘V to paste as plain text without the original formatting; ⌘V keeps it.
