I never have used cell styles or conditional formatting because I do not
understand them

https://help.libreoffice.org/6.3/en-US/text/scalc/01/05120000.html?&DbPAR=CALC&System=UNIX
https://documentation.libreoffice.org/assets/Uploads/Documentation/en/CG4.1/PDF/CG4104-StylesAndTemplates.pdf
(in general, the documentation team put a lot of effort into these
documentations)

I copy and paste a lot of external data (snippets) with my clipboard manager
into LO. By doing so I loose the cell formatting, I fix this with the
Special Paste Menu but then I have to untick two boxes and tick one. When
you have to do that 1000 x a year over and over again then you start
wondering why I am doing this and if there is no better solution.

There is also the autoformat feature

... not Formats because it is not present in the Options Customize menu and
I do not understand why.

The reason is there are plenty of better alternatives. Way better. Please try
it first, I bet you save more time than with any UI hack.



Point why I hesitate to agree with your proposal is, if we introduce a new
function it should add benefit for many users. For example, "Paste Format"
could be mistaken as "Paste Formatted". It also takes space meaning you cannot
glace over a few paste options but have to read all - of course not a result of
one function but it adds up. Not to speak about maintenance at the code.
