Description dg1727 2014-02-09 10:06:12 UTC
In Calc, in Tools > Customize... > Keyboard tab > Category list > Edit, in the Function list, there is an entry "Paste Only Value".

About "Paste Only Value," it has been said [1]:  
> Paste Only Value equates to selecting Numbers in the Paste Special... dialog, 
> which is not very clear to me either. I think a value can be either a string or 
> a number.

This was illustrated in [2], in which the column "Value/Number," rows "UNO function," shows the results of this "Paste Only Value" keybinding.  Numbers are pasted, but strings and dates are not.  

Can rewording "Paste Only Value" to "Paste Only Numbers", for consistency, be considered?

UX: For you!

Component -> ux-advise
Status -> NEW
Comment 3 Heiko Tietze 2016-08-05 10:39:26 UTC
Another argument for renaming is that the paste special dialog talks about numbers and not values. So yes, please rename.

EASYHACK, NEEDINFO for the additional infos.

I have make the change, but I need to change the name of function ".uno:PasteOnlyValue" into ".uno:PasteOnlyNumbers" too? 

<node oor:name=".uno:PasteOnlyValue" oor:op="replace">
  <prop oor:name="Label" oor:type="xs:string">
     <value xml:lang="en-US">Paste Only Numbers</value>

searching ".uno:PasteOnlyValue" into opengrok I have find only other 2 references:

1)  /core/sc/uiconfig/scalc/popupmenu/cell.xml 	
    18 <menu:menuitem menu:id=".uno:PasteOnlyValue"/>
2)  /core/sc/uiconfig/scalc/menubar/menubar.xml 	
    87 <menu:menuitem menu:id=".uno:PasteOnlyValue"/>

I would not change the uno API, that is something we do not do easily as it might affect a lot of programs.
