When pasting text into a sticky, the original font/color/style of the source text is preserved. This can be really annoying over time. Other applications have a clear formatting shortcut key (Google uses cmd-\, openoffice cmd-m). What I'm looking for is:
Just remember to press Cmd-Opt-Shift-V (Paste and Match Style) when pasting and you won't need to reset it all the time.
If you still want to reset:
Cmd-N to make a new temporary Sticky with default formatting, Cmd-Opt-C to copy formatting, Cmd-W to close StickyCmd-A to select allCmd-Opt-V to apply (default) formatting (i.e. clear).Alternatively press the following sequence to copy all content of a Sticky into a new one with default style:
Cmd-A, Cmd-C, Cmd-N, Cmd-Opt-Shift-VUsing AppleScript and Automator you could create a Service that automates these keystroke sequences.
Its not a full solution to what you asked (5 years ago), but with custom keyboard shortcuts, its possible to easily remap Cmd-V.
On El Capitan:
Go to: System Preferences, Keyboard, Shortcuts, App Shortcuts.
Plus sign to add a new shortcut.
Change the Application to 'Stickies'.
Menu Title: 'Paste and Match Style'
Keyboard Shortcut: [Press Cmd-V]
This is very similar to the accepted answer, but less keystrokes on a day to day basis.
Sometimes the Notes app screws up formatting. and then pasting to match formatting is not a good option. I found there is a "Remove Style" button in the format menu under font. And using the systems preferences, you can set a keyboard shortcut for this menu title as described in the other comment. Now I can easily remove bad text style formatting that screws up my notes. I hope this might help you guys too.
