Is it possible to remove the "paste special" dialog window, or some other way of copy/pasting EXCLUSIVELY values + comments?
Hi there! I'm making a sheet that is full of conditional formats which only affect some columns and ranges. However, during work i have to constantly copy and paste text from a website and from one part of the sheet to another, which messes up the ranges (instead of conditional format 1 affecting range C1:C100, after pasting on C50 i get a range of C1:C49,C51:100 for example).
Eventually, this makes file slow to work with, and also messes some of the non-conditional formatting the sheet has; ends up being a mix and match of colors and fonts.
Generally, when i copy a large amount of cells, i do a paste special with CTRL+Shift+V, (Only pasting text/numbers and comments) + Enter to get past the dialog screen, however this is impractical for most copying i do on my workflow.
I was thinking i could change CTRL+V to trigger the Paste Special Function and CTRL+Shift+V for the normal paste, but i still can't ignore the paste special dialog, so it still needs an additional trigger to simply paste something.
Is there a way to have that pop-up window NOT trigger? I don't ever change the paste special properties on this machine.
On the same subject - Is there any other way to work with a file with formats, conditional formats, formulas, etc. and make any kind of copy/pasting operation not mess with those?
Maybe i am not understanding how styles work, or formats - but if i change the default style to have a custom font/borders/etc, no matter if i clear direct formatting, or CTRL+X the cell, the format will remain the same - but if i do this with a cell with another style applied, it will go back to the default style.
Is it possible to replicate this behaviour but for custom styles? so, no matter if i CTRL+X or CTRL+M a given cell, they go back to the predetermined style per range.
I am creating this sheet on Fedora Workstation 44, for use in both Fedora and Win10 and Win11.

For some context: The purpose of the sheet is to manage several inventories corresponding to a mobile workforce. the items have unique IDs scanned with barcodes. These items are then consumed, and marked with another ID next to them, which is acquired through a work website. This is where the main copy/pasting operations happen. After all of the IDs have been pasted, the inventory is copied to an empty space on the right (only with values+comments) which already has formatting and conditional formatting applied. Then, on the newly pasted inventory, i delete the consumed items and add new ones. These updated inventories get then pasted (only values+comments) on a new sheet with a template contanining the styles, conditional formatting and such.
