option command v dosent work

Hi quinn,

In my experience, option command-C and option-command-V copied the style but not the content of the selection, and pasted the copied style to a new selection.

Example:

Setup:

Row 1 was filled with the text shown, then assigned the text and style shown.

Row 2 was filled with the labels shown, using the default font and style.

These labels were copied and pasted into rows 3, 4 and 5.

Row 3: The cells in Row 1 (not including A1) were selected and copied using command-C, then the corresponding cells in row 3 were selected and the copied material pasted using command-V. Content and style of the copied material was retained.

Row 4: The same cells in row one were selected individually, and theyie styles copied using option-command-C. The corresponding cells in row 4 were selected, and the copied styles pasted using option-command-V.

Row 5: The same cells in Row 1 were selected and copied (command-C), then the corresponding cells in row 5 were selected and Paste and Match Style was chosen from the Edit menu. As seen, the content was pasted, but the cells retained the default style settings.

Regards,

That fixed it! Paste and Match style used to be cmd-shift-v. Obviously they've added in another key with a new release at some point. Wish I could mark this as the correct answer.

OK. Take a deep breath.

Perhaps sharing (in words) what you are trying to do (not how you are doing it, just what).

Posting screenshots is very helpful so we can see what you are seeing. Take a look at this link for how to post a screenshot:

How to Post a screenshot to the Apple Discussion Forums

If you (in fact) are trying to copy and paste something, then try using the menu item "Edit > Copy" and "Edit > Paste" to remove the key combination from the mix.

Try restarting Numbers

Try restarting your computer

Try creating a new document and see if the "problem" occurs there too.

Since you have not posted any screenshots it is hard to provide any specific guidance

Hi C02,

Paste and Match Style is called with option-shift-cmd-v. That may be your problem. option-cmd-v doesn't do anything on my machine either.

I have customized my SketchUp app to understand "Option-Command-V" to mean "Paste In Place". Since upgrading to Sierra, it stopped working. I have gone back into the SketchUp Keyboard Shortcuts to try to re-instate the "Option-Command-V" and it says "Key cannot be used as shortcut."

Does anyone know of an override app for macOS that can give me this functionality back again.

Hi kt,

Considering that your question appears to have o connection with Apple's spreadsheet application Numbers, this appears to be the wrong place to ask it.

Have you tried the community support forum at sketchup.com? They have had a number of conversations regarding issues specific to using SketchUp with macOS 10.12 (Sierra) going back to last June. Might be a better place to contact users with SketchUp on the Mac experience.
