I've resorted to using PowerToys on Windows for this, it has a little utility called Advanced Paste. Win+Shift+V brings up a little modal and you can choose to paste as plain text, markdown, json, and a bunch of other functions, or you can give it your OpenAI API key and have ChatGPT format clipboard contents for you.

Yeah, even easier, SHIFT-CTRL-V on most systems is unformatted. But, I always forget, so pasting is like: CTRL-V -- goddammit -- CTRL-Z; SHIFT-CTRL-V.
