Chrome in Windows has Paste: Control + V and Paste as Plain Text: Control + Shift + V.
It worked everywhere but Confluence.
Why? Is there another shortcut to it?
Thanks
Yes, the rich text editor in Confluence doesn't appear to support the Control + Shift + V command.
If you are just copying and pasting other web content in Chrome to Confluence, you could try installing an add-on from the Chrome Web Store to help strip the formatting?
BTW have you considered raising this issue as a feature/bug request? https://jira.atlassian.com

This appears to be supported now.
On mac/windows: Command/Control -> Shift -> V to paste plain text without formatting.

For me on Chrome still does not work even though I can plain-paste via context menu

Unfortunately Confluence overrides Cmd-Shift-V / Ctrl-Shift-V as a shortcut for 'Paste Row Before' within tables.
I've created a bookmarklet you can use to override this behavior:
javascript:delete tinyMCE.editors[0].shortcuts["ctrl,,shift,86"]
To use it open the Bookmark Manager in Chrome and choose 'Add New Bookmark'. In the URL section copy and paste the above. It should look like this:
Next time you're in the Confluence editor click the bookmark first (it won't be obvious anything has happened), then use Cmd+Shift+V and it should work as normal.

In Firefox, this goes to a new page with just "true" on it. Do you know a way to make this bookmarklet execute on the current page in Firefox?

unfortunately this bookmarklet does not work with tinyMCE 4+, the new way to disable the shortcut is via the tinyMCE API https://www.tiny.cloud/docs-4x/api/tinymce/tinymce.shortcuts/
javascript:require("tinymce").editors[0].shortcuts.remove('ctrl+shift+v')

Thanks - I tried this out, unfortunately I could not get it to work.
From the Chrome console, I get:
Uncaught TypeError: require(...).editors[0].shortcuts.remove is not a function
at <anonymous>:1:41
With some minor modifications to debug, it seems to me that the require is actually not succeeding in my environment, even though the error is about .remove() . I'm new to JS though.
Any other thoughts on how to debug this and get it to work?

Update: A coworker who is way smarter than me provided the following bookmarklet, which works at the moment but could break in the future.
javascript:tinyMCE.editors[0].addShortcut('ctrl+shift+v','',(editor) => {editor.execCommand('mceInsertContent', false, window.clipboardData.getData('Text'));})
