I have a feeling it isn't possible, but it'd be cool if it was. However, I can't find a way to configure a specific format and attach that specific format to a keyboard shortcut. Heck, the whole Keyboard Shortcuts Customize is useful. File -> Options -> Customize Ribbon -> Keyboard Shortcuts Customize -> Home Tab is really useful. I am aware that one can customize keyboard shortcuts in Word 365.
continue typing in this font, fast because I didn't take my hands off of the keyboard.
keyboard shortcut: puts the format back into a specific format that covers anything that you can do on the Home -> Font section of the ribbon - font, size, color, whatever. space / enter / shift+enter / stuff like this: gets the cursor to the spot to continue typing. cntrl+V: the text gets pasted onto the screen with source formatting. Here is my ideal series of steps when I paste text on to the Word 365 screen: I don't want to take my hands off the keyboard to fuss with the mouse! So the drop down and some re-positioning of the cursor does work, but there's one problem: Personally, I usually want to keep the source formatting and continue to type in the original format. This is a fine way to handle the problem of what to do with the conflicting formats.
Most of the time, a drop down pops up on the screen giving the user paste options - keep source formatting, merge, etc. paste and match destination formatting 3. When copying/pasting into a Word doc, the text format of the text (font/size/color) is pasted into the Word doc. If you paste data using the shortcut CTRL + V, it will keep formatting from the source file.
