macOS Big Sur – Copy / Paste as Plain Text

Good evening everyone,
Hope someone can help me, according to my research this is unique to Apple. My girlfriend pointed out to me something that I never thought to look for before, she is trying to switch to Apple. She uses copy paste a lot.

We have a 1§-inch MacBook Pro on MacOS Big Sur. When you are in the Apple Mail application, if you copy / paste a sentence from an email using the iPad’s touch function, that’s fine. But if we do this copy / paste with the Magic Keyboard using the cmd C + cmd V keys, it skips lines and it changes the style of the sentence with its font.
We do not find how to simply do the equivalent of Windows with its right click and the option paste in plain text.
At Apple when you copy / paste a text from an article on the internet when you paste it, it puts the style and its font, it does not copy in plain text.

Thanks for your help, I found some solutions below, maybe you have other tips or apps

I tried to set this up in the system keyboard shortcut preferences, it doesn’t seem to work well on MacOS Big Sur:
