Description andreas_k 2018-10-24 09:31:58 UTC
in Context Menu you have

cut
copy
paste
paste special
 - past unformated
 - ...

In menubar there is no submenu for all the "different" past special options (only in calc)

cut
copy
paste
paste unformated
paste special

should there be an submenu in the menubar?

Moving the whole paste special down a level, to match context menus, makes sense to me as well. +1

@Andreas, *

I did not notice in the patch, but when this rolled today we end up with

Edit -> Paste Special -> 
                        Paste Unformatted Text
                        Paste Special

while the context menu shows

Paste Special ->
                Unformatted Text  
                More Options

Should we align the label use to match the context menu? At least use the More Options.
Comment 5 andreas_k 2018-10-27 17:06:22 UTC
More Options use the same .uno:PasteSpecial should we change the string?

      <node oor:name=".uno:PasteSpecial" oor:op="replace">
        <prop oor:name="Label" oor:type="xs:string">
          <value xml:lang="en-US">Paste ~Special...</value>
        </prop>
        <prop oor:name="PopupLabel" oor:type="xs:string">
          <value xml:lang="en-US">~More Options...</value>
        </prop>

There is a commit so this has likely been done. Closing as fixed.
