Often I must manipulate text (copy/cut/paste) from within a file or
multiple files. When one copies and cuts text in Calc, the formatting
(background, borders, font, size) is copied with it. I need that ONLY
the text be copied, and that the background will stay in place even if
I cut the text.

I know that to paste text without formatting one can long click the
Paste button on the toolbar, however, I have physical difficulties
manipulating the mouse so I prefer keyboard navigation. I cannot
perform SHIFT-CTRL-V either, as that requires fingers that I cannot
use. I need to set the default CTRL-V to relate to text only, not
formatting. How is this done? Thank you very much in advance.

While I have no problem trying alternative methods of pasting and I
welcome all suggestions, I _really_ need the default cut/copy/paste
options to be text-only. So if someone will suggest that I "try
something else" then I will, but I still need that the default be text
only. Thank you for understanding.

A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
