You can use the application Ditto - ditto-cp.sourceforge.net/ and create a shortcut for pasting plain text. It works for windows.

You can do this one step faster. Instead of the text editor, Use Photoshop's Font drop-down for clearing the text styling!

See details here: futurice.com/blog/photoshop-productivity-hack-paste-and-match-style-alternative


Copy the text you need to paste, from wherever (web, other app, other Photoshop file).
Select the Ps Type tool (you would be doing this anyway, because you're pasting into a text object).
Paste into the Font drop-down. (this is the "hack" part)
Select All from the Font drop-down and Copy again.
Hit Escape. (to revert the Font drop-down selection to what it was before and prevent getting an error)
Paste into your destination text object.

there's no such shortcut in Photoshop. Paste in a plain text editor, copy from there and paste again in Photoshop.

If you're on a Mac and have ClipMenu installed, simply hitting cmd+shift+v and selecting the same text should clear up the text formatting.
