1. Open a spreadsheet
2. Have something in the clipboard
3. Press Ctrl+F, then Ctrl+Shift+V

Expected behavior: same as Ctrl+V, pasting the unformatted text in the Find text box

Actual behavior: clipboard contents pasted into the active cell

Can not confirm an issue.

Rather, a feature that allows for flexible handling of the content recorded to clipboard.

The pop-open 'Paste Special' dialog exposes a combo box to select the type of handling the clipboard content should receive. Selecting that type, e.g. 'Rich text formatting (RTF)' instead of 'Unformatted text' or the 'Text import dialog'  and confirming with 'OK' button to perform a past of that clipboard content.

Functions as intended, IMHO => NAB

Oh wait, I see what you're after. 

You want the Paste special available to the <Ctrl>+F Find Bar (and I guess the <Ctrl>+H Find and Replace dialog as well).  Interestingly, it is available in the new SB Find deck.

Seems a reasonable enhancement.

What, why?

When the Find box has focus, I want Ctrl+(Shift+)V to paste IN IT, not somewhere else.

I think this is quite reasonable to expect - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principle_of_least_astonishment

Under the assumption that additional to copy/paste a global function "paste special" exist. You don't expect ctrl+B to work, or ctrl+M. 

Theoretically you can change the shortcut assignment and make ctrl+shift+v just paste. But the findbar uses a standard control and it's system function.

I'm afraid you need to learn these shortcuts. => WF

Agree, thinking more about this <Ctrl>+V paste (as plain text) is appropriate and functions in all the Find text fields (QFS, FR, SB Find deck).

+1 => WF
