the new paste-special shortcut


Yeah, I forgot to mention that one. That thing changed the way I live. I've added that to every word processing program I use. That's the coolest little trick ever!


and now imagine that this is removed in next subversion with no ability to configure.


Well, I'd have a few options then.

1) Resign to the fact that most people don't like/don't use it, and move on without it.

2) Keep the quite functional copy of the version I've been using and be happy with it.

[The choice between these two would be does the new version's improvements outweigh my desire to use my pet option.]

3) Use both, since it's free, I can easily install both versions, using OOo-old when I want my pet option, and OOo-new when I need the new features.

4) Write or have written a patch/macro/hack that will put my pet option back into the new version.

5)    Screw it and buy/download another program that does what I want.

For this particular option, I'd go with either 2, 3, or 5. Most likely 3. But since nearly every office suite / word processor I have (and I have over 20) allows me to make my own keyboard shortcuts, I don't have to worry about it.
