Paste without formatting not working in Google Docs
-
@jae Not getting into whether it should be default or not, to fix this on your install, you should remove that keyboard combo in settings.
Go to
Settings
→Keyboard
→Window
→Paste and Go
and remove the default entry ofCtrl
+Shift
+V

@nomadic Thank you so much! You saved my life. As a user from Opera 6.06, I thought there should be an option for this. Just couldn't find it somehow. I'm a dumbass.

I tested now - ctrl+shift+v (paste without formatting) still not working in google spread sheets :(. Works in google documents but not in sheets.
Windows 10 Pro, Vivaldi 3.5.2115.87

@Gwen-Dragon still not working for me in 3.6.2165.32 (Official Build) (64-bit)
@kohy I appreciate that tip, but this is core Google Apps functionality...it's actually a menu item (Edit / Paste Special / Paste Values Only)...should not require a hack to work
-
@kohy You really made my day. It working fine now even in the incognito tab.

@charlie1212
It doesn't work for me and I agree with you. It's an important issue.
I was testing Vivaldi to be my standard browser, but I'm quitting the idea because of that. -
@charlie1212 said in Paste values in Google apps *still* not working:
Create a new Google Sheets file
Enter a number into a cell
Format that number in some way (bold, color, whatever)
Copy the cell
Now create a (second) new Google Sheets file
Regular paste. The cell from the first file comes through fine - formatting and all
Now attempt to paste values. It does not work. Nothing gets pasted. Neither Ctrl+Shift+V nor using the menu (Edit / Paste Special / Paste values only)
4.1.2369.11 Pasting unformatted with Ctrl+Shift+V works for me now.

@doctorg Hi
It's not working for me. Tested it just now.
When I copy data from an Excel spreadsheet and paste as values in a Google sheet, it simply doesn't work. It pastes the previous item from the transfer area, but not the current one. -
@felipe12345 Yes, copying formatted text from external app like LibreOffice Calc or MS Excel and paste into browser as raw text fails.
But this happens on Chromium, too. Not a Vivaldi issue, i think. I have not tested with Edge or Firefox or Chrome.Please tell me: copy from Excel to Google Sheets cell running browser works with which browser?
-
@doctorg It works fine in Chrome

@nomadic You're the best! I thought Vivaldi was just buggy because I found if I navigated back to the page I was on and then tried "Ctrl+Shift+V" the shortcut would work as expected. Why the heck would Vivaldi hijack such a common shortcut for some random functionality that's no more convenient than clicking on the search bar and pasting?
-
Ctrl + Shift + V still not working in Google Spreadsheets and Vivaldi. Will it ever be repaired?
-
I updated bug tracker VB-64825 "Cannot Ctrl+Shift+V to Paste as Plain Text in Google Sheets" for current 5.0 and 5.1 versions.
-
Ctrl + Shift + V is still fully functional in Google Docs. Thank you!
-
Ctrl+Shift+V is 'paste unformatted' in Google Docs (which I use all the time), doesnt work with the Vivaldi default keys as it conflicts with 'paste and go'. Yes I can change it in the settings, but you know how software goes, one day an update will reset it back again... also it doesnt sync between machines and its a pain to keep setting it up ... recommend Vivaldi change the default shortcut for this to something else.
-
@oo1 That is a known regression, no progress yet.
-
I use Google Sheets daily for work and am constantly using the Ctrl+Shift+V to paste in my spreadsheets. I just switched from Opera over to Vivaldi and love it, but am really getting fed up with the fact that Google Sheets shortcuts are not working. So far, I've tried:
-
Going to Vivaldi's Setting > Keyboard > Paste and Go and deleting the Ctrl+Shift+V there to see if that fixes it -- It doesn't
-
Tried going into Google Sheets > Help > Keyboard Shortcuts > Turned on 'Enable Compatible Spreadsheet Shortcuts' -- That didn't work to fix the issue either
-
Tried Going to Vivaldi's Setting > Keyboard and unchecked the 'Enable Keyboard Shortcuts' box to see if that would turn off Vivaldi's keyboard shortcuts and allow Google Sheets' keyboard shortcuts to work -- It didn't work either
I'm at a loss here. These keyboard shortcuts and users needing to have access to them in Google Sheets and Google Docs seems like a pretty big deal and Vivaldi should have addressed this as a major issue. I don't see why there isn't an easy fix for this. I've never had this type of problem in Google Sheets using any other web browser and I'd prefer to use Vivaldi for all my work and home-related web-based searches.
Please help me out.
