  1. In Anki desktop app, go to Preferences...[^1]
  2. Select Editing
  3. Select the Paste without shift key strips formatting checkbox

[^1]: My preference is to get rid of the formatted pasted text completely from Visual Studio Code. It seems like a ridiculous feature to have by default for a friggin' text editor!!!
