How to make tinymce paste in plain text by default

Question

Googled it thousands of times, No one gives a complete solution of how to make Tinymce paste in plain text by default and strip out any formatting without clicking the \"pas

Answer 1

Without plug-in: Listen to paste event, get clipboard data

If you cannot use or do not want to use a plug-in for whatever reason, you can create your own "paste as plain text" callback function like so:

tinyMCE.init({

    // ...,

    setup: function (editor) {

        // Listen for paste event, add "Paste as plain text" callback
        editor.onPaste.add(function (editor, e) {

            // Prevent default paste behavior
            e.preventDefault();

            // Check for clipboard data in various places for cross-browser compatibility.
            // Get that data as text.
            var content = ((e.originalEvent || e).clipboardData || window.clipboardData).getData('Text');

            // Let TinyMCE do the heavy lifting for inserting that content into the editor.
            editor.execCommand('mceInsertContent', false, content);
        });
    }
});

Note: This was created for TinyMCE 3.5.x. Compatibility may vary by version.

Answer 2

I did as follows:

var pastePlainText = function() {
    // No need to pass in an ID, instead fetch the first tinyMCE instance
    var ed = tinyMCE.get(0); 
    ed.pasteAsPlainText = true;  

    //adding handlers crossbrowser
    if (tinymce.isOpera || /Firefox\/2/.test(navigator.userAgent)) {
        ed.onKeyDown.add(function (ed, e) {
            if (((tinymce.isMac ? e.metaKey : e.ctrlKey) && e.keyCode == 86) || (e.shiftKey && e.keyCode == 45))
                ed.pasteAsPlainText = true;
        });
    } else {            
        ed.onPaste.addToTop(function (ed, e) {
            ed.pasteAsPlainText = true;
        });
    }
};

And then:

tinyMCE.init({
    // ...
    plugins: "paste",
    oninit: pastePlainText // Note, without "
    // ...
})

I have solved this problem with this code

tinyMCE.init({
...
plugins : "paste",
paste_text_sticky : true,
setup : function(ed) {
    ed.onInit.add(function(ed) {
      ed.pasteAsPlainText = true;
    });
  }
....
})

Answer 4

Isn't it better to use:

var ed = tinyMCE.activeEditor;

instead of:

var ed = tinyMCE.get('elm1');

Answer 5

I think the easiest way would be this:

tinymce.init({
   ...
   paste_as_text: true,
   plugins: "paste",
   ...
});
