[Solved] Way to change default paste option?

When I copy and paste text, often it comes with links and other formatting that I don't want. Is there a way to get OO to only paste, by default, plain text (in the formatting of the destination document), and if possible, to allow me to quickly change that option if I don't like it?

By default you have Ctrl-Shift-Alt-V (yes, four keys!) to paste without formatting. You can change that shortcut on Tools → Customize → Keyboard tab.

OK, its not the same thing as in Word, but its almost as good. I set my keyboard config to make Ctrl+V the Paste Unformatted Text option. On the rare occasions when I want formatted text, I can simply go up to the icon on the toolbar and click on it. Word has a paste bottle right where the bottom of the text is located (that has been pasted), but the number of times I really want formatted text is probably less than once a month.
