Getting rid of hyperlinks
The following comments apply when using a desktop computer with macOS.
Sometimes I need to copy some text from a web site. If there are hyperlinks in the text, I usually want to get rid of them. After exhaustive research, I have found a way to do this efficiently.
I start by highlighting the word in question. Then, in most applications, I hit ⌘K, which brings up a window with a box I can check to "remove" the link.
There's an alternative when I'm using the "Pages" word processor: after highlighting the word, I can choose
Format > Remove Link.
