Keyboard Shortcut: Copy value of selection not formula

I'm looking at http://www.contextures.com/excel.htm which gives a lot of keyboard shortcuts, but not specifically what I'm looking for.

It's a basic function, I'm surprised it's not listed. I just want to copy the value of a selected cell via keyboard shortcut (for copy and paste purposes). I don't want the formula, just the value. If it were just text I would typically do CTRL-C and CTRL-V to paste like everyone does 1000 times a day, but in this case it's copying between two otherwise totally unrelated spreadsheets, so having the formula is irrelevant and produces undesired results. I just need the value of the formula.

Is there a keyboard shortcut for "copy value"?
 

Excel Facts

Select all contiguous cells
Pressing Ctrl+* (asterisk) will select the "current region" - all contiguous cells in all directions.
Control C to copy like normal but the pasting is a little different.....

ALT E S V enter will paste just the values

or right click, paste special, values

I think Control, Alt, V, V works in some versions also

Thanks. I just realized I need update my tag line. Xl2010 now so I suppose Right Click can't be avoided. I found Right Click S E will paste special with values and keep formatting. I suppose that's all I could ask really. So there's no KB shortcut for paste special?

Thanks again

The same keyboard shortcuts Weazel mentioned should still work in 2010.

These are Arrow Key codes

Code:
Selection.Offset(0, 1).Select      '*Right*
Selection.Offset(0, -1).Select     '*Left*
Selection.Offset(-1, 0).Select     '*Up*
Selection.Offset(1, 0).Select     '*Down*
Selection.Offset(2, 0).Resize(5, 8).Select     '*Down*
''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

Sub Sample()
    'Assuming your selected Cell is D5 on any Worksheet
    ' This setting below has just copied the Values from ranges D7 to I31

     'adjust to suit
Selection.Offset(2, 0).Resize(25, 6).Select     '*Down*

Selection.Copy


'Then pasting Values only, to an another sheet

Sheets("Sheet10").Range("D7:I31").Value = _
Selection.Offset(0, 0).Resize(25, 6).Value

 'pasted the Values, not the formula


End Sub
