Description Paul Morris 2013-03-18 14:56:35 UTC

Pasting unformatted text is a common task, and it is tedious to have to open the "Paste Special..." dialog every time to do it.  (Or somehow find out that you can press Ctrl+Alt+Shift+V to do it.)

Feature suggestion:
Put a "Paste as Unformatted Text" command at the top level of the Edit menu, like so:

  Paste
  Paste Unformatted Text
  Paste Special...

...with the keyboard shortcut listed for it so that that is easily discoverable.
Operating System: All
Version: 4.0.2.1 rc

You already have it available from default toolbar - look at the arrow near Paste 
button. Unformatted text is one of the options.
Also you can add the menu entry by yourself - Tools>Customize>Menu Content>Choose Edit>Add - Category Edit, Command Paste Unformatted text. Then default shortcut for this action will be visible. 
Also you can add a separate button for Paste Unformatted text to any of the toolbar.
As you can see LibreOffice can be customized as you like, in different ways. 
Therefore I will mark this as RESOLVED WORKSFORME.
If you think that this command should be added to the menu by default - please consider to discuss this at libreoffice-ux-advise@lists.freedesktop.org mailing list - the best place for UX considerations.

Excellent! Thank you!  (I should have realized this was customizable...)

As far as I can see, and according to Bug 50746 Paste Unformatted text is not available in Tools > Customize..
