MS Word keyboard shortcuts; maybe I'm the idiot
What idiot thought it was a good idea to remove CTRL-Shift-v as the shortcut for "Paste unformatted text" and replaced it with right-click -> Paste options -> Keep text only?

So now I've typed a straight quote in a browser window, copied it, and have pasted it using the Paste options -> Unformatted text so that I can copy and paste it to replace the smart quotes.
Not my desired user experience, I have to say.

@dbs I am not 100% certain that Word ever had the ctrl-shift-v convention. My copy of 2013 doesn't do it, for instance. Seems pretty standard lots of other places, though.

@akorphan See, I probably am the idiot! I guess I can override shortcut key assignments to make it work the way I want.

Oh hey and now I've disabled the auto-formatting of straight quotes to smart quotes, but it's still inserting smart quotes when I type them manually. That really sucks for code snippets. OMG. I hate that I have to use this software.
