And it is a comparatively new product – and most people don’t even know that it exists – even if they have it installed! Therefore, Microsoft did not / could not finalize a default format based upon common user behavior pattern.
In that case, the question is – why did Microsoft not choose a default format for paste and provide Paste Special in OneNote (like all other products)? Just to avoid a Paste Special dialog? That does not sound like a good reason. It does offer four paste options as expected: It does not mean that you cannot choose the paste format in OneNote. It does not work for OneNote because OneNote does not have Paste Special functionality at all. Imagine the amount of effort the Office team is taking to make our life easier and healthier… it is just that we simply don’t notice these things and therefore are not able to utilize the products effectively.īy the way, the shortcut works across ALL Office products. You try it out yourself and choose the method which is most comfortable to you. If it is paste, don’t press the middle finger, if it is paste special – just press the middle finger (right side photo)Īnother alternative is little finger for Ctrl, Index finger for V and thumb for Alt – which is also convenient. You just have to decide is it Paste or Paste Special at the last moment. Look at the photo on left side – I have intentionally flexed the middle finger to expose the Alt key. The middle finger is anyway resting near ALT key. Usually we press CTRL key using little finger and V using index finger. Now compare it with CTRL V and CTRL ALT V You try pressing Alt E S using left hand and see the position of fingers.
Let me show you the difference using a keyboard layout.
On the fact of it, there are three keys to be pressed in either case. It is definitely better than using mouse anyway.Ĭompare the actual act of pressing the older shortcut – For Paste Special CTRL ALT V is more intuitive.
