MacOS – Application Keyboard Shortcut not overriding

copy/pastekeyboardmacosshortcut

I want to always paste text without its format. Many applications, like Numbers in my case, have a shortcut for that being shift+alt+command+v. Now, that's pretty many keys to press at once so I wanted to override that with a custom keyboard shortcut as suggested in this answer.

[sorry for German language, please assume that the shortcuts' names are correct]

I flipped Paste's and Paste and match style's keyboard commands.
Since that did not do it, I also added shortcuts for Numbers individually.

This is what Numbers' Edit pane shows:

Numbers' *Edit* pane

Again, sorry for German language. the first one reads "Paste" and second reads "Paste and match style". The keyboard commands are still the wrong way.

I have restarted Numbers a number (no pun intended) of times but that didn't help. For other applications it doesn't work either.

Any ideas why it doesn't work?
Thanks in advance"

You need to use the exact name of the menu item. It looks like you're using "Einfügen" but Numbers' menu item uses the synonym "Einsetzen". Correcting that should fix it.
