It would be really handy if Ctrl+V would paste into a cell when it is highlighted in blue.  You can right click and paste, but the only way for Ctrl+V to work is if you click in the cell to convert to edit mode.
 
This would be very handy when copy and pasting from another document.  Select Ctrl+C, switch to Library Expert with Alt+Tab, arrow key to next cell, Ctrl+V.  Right now I have to bring the mouse over to the column and click in it first.  I'm usually using the mouse to select information from the location I'm copying from, so it take too much mouse movement.
