[SOLVED] Mathematica: copying math without pretty-print?

Hi,
how do you turn off the pretty print? i did this once by axcident but i can't figure out the keys i pressed... it was helpful cause i needed to do that anyway to paste it in matlab... anyone know how i did it so you can explain it to me? :P

Control + Shift + I converts to InputForm, as does applying InputForm to the expression.
Then expressions will be written like
Integrate[Sqrt[-(I*x)^2], {x, 0, Pi}]
instead of with the fancy integrals and doublestruck and greek symbols.

(For completeness, Ctrl + Shift + N produces the fancy-print)
