I'd like to remove the hyperlink underline (since I sometimes need to copy and paste from it with the carrot which is easier when I don't have the hand cursor.)
Highlighting and going to text -> clear formatting doesn't remove the link. It's still there as hyperlink and I want it in plain text.
Is the entire link selected?
Selecting the text around the link and clicking the "Clear formatting" menu item in the contextual menu or the "Text" menu (shift-cmd-C) should clear all formatting, even the hyperlink associated with the text.
