MacOS – “Paste and Match Style” OSX Notes Keyboard Shortcut Doesn’t Work

keyboardmacosnotes.app

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills since nobody else seems to be having this issue. I really can't get the keyboard shortcut for Paste and Match Style to work in OSX Notes. I copy some rich formatted text, I have the caret at the point I'd like to enter the text, and I press and hold:

Option+Shift+Command+V

This is the keyboard shortcut listed under the Edit menu. When I do this, the Format menu flashes and nothing happens. The fact that the Format menu flashes implies to me that it's selecting a shortcut from that menu rather than the Edit one. The version of Notes is 3.3 (353) in OSX 10.10.5.

Manually clicking "Paste and Match Style" from the menu works properly.

What am I missing here?!

I had the same problem. It helped to switch the language (I was typing in Russian and the shortcut didn't work but when I switched to English it started working). It seems like a macOS bug, though.
