How to enable Paste function with Ctrl-Shift-V in Ubuntu 13.10?

  • 772

I have very simple question after installation/upgrade to 13.10. Seems that Paste function (or Paste without formatting) keyboard shortcut does not work in 13.10. It was a very convenient way to paste non-formatted text in LibreOffice or in the Terminal. Thus, my question is:

How can I enable Paste function with Ctrl+Shift+V in Ubuntu 13.10?

command-line

    I assume you are using ENGLISH (US) keyboard layout. Otherwise see here.

    For me it works with Ctrl+RIGHT_Shift+V in all keyboard layouts Ubuntu 13.10.

    The same in LIBREOFFICE + OPENOFFICE

    It does NOT work with Ctrl+LEFT_Shift+V because Ctrl+LEFT_shift is assigned to a different combination in keyboard settings. Check your settings. See here for my example: url

  2. Unfortunately, you need to:

    sudo apt-get purge libreoffice-gtk libreoffice-gnome

    You'll get a somewhat ugly UI, but functional keyboard shortcuts!
