copy and paste without formatting

So one thing that’s been annoying me more and more lately is that when you copy and paste text from a style-aware (say Chrome) app to another style-aware (say Mail.app) app in Mac OS X that it copies the style. There are shortcuts you can use to paste without style, but in Mail.app the shortcut is Shift-Option-Command-V (which doesn’t seem like all that much of a shortcut to my fingers).

Anyway, I went hunting for how to fix this and I found a way. Here it is.

The CLI version didn’t work for me, but the System Preferences route worked like a charm.
