Abstract

The Paste Unformatted Text command exists in OpenOffice.org, but lacks direct shortcut.

This specification defines the association of a new function "Paste Unformatted Text"
with a keyboard shortcut (CTRL-ALT-SHIFT-V on Windows/Linux, Cmd-Option-Shift-V on Mac)
The chosen shortcut is already used in Mac OS X platform, and equivalent shortcut is chosen for Windows/Linux for cross-platform consistency.

Reference: here.
"Apply the style of the surrounding text to the inserted object (Paste and Match Style)"

The greatest advantage is that, no matter where the copied content originated from (Web page, another office program, ...),
the pasted text adapts its formatting to the document it is pasted in.

Motivation

Make the important text handling UI flow more fluently and more efficient
by setting a shortcut to a function which is used very often but cannot be accessed/mapped to a keyboard shortcut.

User Scenarios

A user copies text from a Web page and pastes it to the document he works on.
The pasted text adapts its formatting to the document it is pasted in,
so that no additional work is needed.

Goals

Give the user a quick and easy way to integrate pasted content into an existing document.
