Hi! I investigated this issue and found the location of the incorrect shortcut description.
The UI currently shows Ctrl+V, but the keybinding used in the code is Alt+V.
Proposed fix:
This updates the displayed shortcut so it correctly reflects the implemented keybinding.
Happy to open a PR if external contributions are allowed.
