How do I make a list without bullets or numbers? I've done it in the past but can no longer remember the shortcut!!

I tried the Cntl + number on highlighted text but it just jumped to a different tab in Chrome.

Thanks a lot, I was searching for them for quite long time finally got it :)

Great list. Do you have more shortcuts to share? Perhaps a list of 100?
