Does anyone know any equivalent tool like "Format Painter" (Picture) of the MS Word processor but for Mathematica ?

"Format Painter" is used when you want to copy formatting from one item to another. For example if you have written text in Word, and have it formatted using a specific font type, color, and font size you could copy that formatting to another section of text by using the Format Painter tool.

When you have a first plot

P = Plot[x^2, {x, 0, 1}, AspectRatio -> 2, PlotTheme -> "Scientific"]

you can copy many of the options to a second plot with

Plot[x^3, {x, -1, 1}, Evaluate[Sequence @@ Options[P]]]

    $\begingroup$ This is very useful. I am also looking for something more global, that can be used with text, code, font. A fast way that allow me to write a text and apply a formatation of some text from somewhere else in a notebook. I know I can create a shortcut, but a shortcut is very especific... $\endgroup$

Of course. Just import or re-use a style sheet.

Just go Format > Stylesheet > Stylesheet chooser:

enter image description here

Click on one and edit the style and save it.
