--- Comment #4 from V Stuart Foote <vsfoote at libreoffice.org> ---
The "simple" default .uno:Paste assigned to <Ctrl>+V is overloaded with good
actions for import depending already on source. 

So alternatively, just customize the Calc instance of <Ctrl>+V yourself? It
then is persistent across sessions and would not upset work flows of others.

The default global for <Ctrl>+V is "Paste" (.uno:Paste) across modules, with
the contorted "Paste Unformatted Text" (.uno:PasteUnformatted) assigned just to
the Calc module's <Ctrl><Alt><Shift>+V

But as folks understand they can customize, equally viable defaults could be
assigned to the <Ctrl>+V in Calc. 

So depending on a users workflow needs, each of:

.uno:PasteAsLink,
.uno:PasteOnlyFormula,
.uno:PasteOnlyValue,
.uno:PasteOnlyText,
.uno:InsertContents (Paste Special-Insert),
.uno:PasteSpecial (def Ctrl-Shift-V),
.uno:PasteTransposed,

or .uno:PasteUnformatted are equally viable customizations to assign to
<Ctrl>+V in the Calc module. 

Those UNO are to basis of the button/check-box actions on the pop-up paste
special dialog.

Sustaining the global default assignment of.uno:Paste, and *NOT* assigning a
default alternative to Calc's use of the <Ctrl>+V Paste still makes more sense
for the majority of users, leaving customization up to each.
