Area(s) with issue?

General

Steps to reproduce

Ctrl + Win + V is now an OS shortcut for the volume mixer. We should consider a different default as a hot-fix for this so as to not cause problems as quickly as possible.

  1. Ctrl + Alt + V

I don't think we should do Ctrl+Alt+V because of AltGr+V equivalence.
Ctrl+Alt+V would break keyboard layouts that use AltGr+V for specific characters. Here's an example from wiki where we'd break typing "@" for some keyboard layouts:

From the two suggested, Win+Alt+V looks the better one. It seems weird for a pasting shortcut to not include Ctrl, though.

I suggest doing Win+Ctrl+Shift+V, beign the usual Ctrl+Shift+V for this function in most applications, with the addition of Win key for indicating something else on the system is doing this.

While Win+Ctrl+Shift+V makes a bit more semantic sense, how are you gonna press this shortcut with one hand? :D Also, apparently accidentally pressing B instead of V will reset parts of the graphics driver.

@Illiou we went with Ctrl + Win + Alt + V! (Totally agree that Win+Ctrl+Shift+V is nearly impossible with one hand)
