Tried the following procedure for Linux (Centos 7.6.xx) TB to switch the Paste and Paste without Formatting keys around

http://kv5r.com/computers/thunderbird-paste-without-formatting/

Partly works ...

"Paste Ctl+Shift+V " - Ctl+Shift+V keys now works as Paste ( with Formatting )

But "Past without Formatting Ctl+V " - Ctl+V keys still works as Paste ( i.e. with formatting). Like this to work as Paste ( with no Formatting ) function.

In platformHTMLBindings.xml Check you have this <handler event="keypress" key="v" command="cmd_paste" modifiers="accel, shift"/> <handler event="keypress" key="v" command="cmd_pasteNoFormatting" modifiers="accel"/>

Not this: <handler event="keypress" key="v" command="cmd_paste" modifiers="accel, shift"/> <handler event="keypress" key="v" command="cmd_pasteNoFormatting" modifiers="accel, shift"/>
