Description dg1727 2014-02-09 10:06:12 UTC

In Calc, in Tools > Customize... > Keyboard tab > Category list > Edit, in the Function list, there is an entry "Paste Only Value".

About "Paste Only Value," it has been said [1]:  
> Paste Only Value equates to selecting Numbers in the Paste Special... dialog, 
> which is not very clear to me either. I think a value can be either a string or 
> a number.

This was illustrated in [2], in which the column "Value/Number," rows "UNO function," shows the results of this "Paste Only Value" keybinding.  Numbers are pasted, but strings and dates are not.  

Can rewording "Paste Only Value" to "Paste Only Numbers", for consistency, be considered?
