It does?

I just looked around on this Win machine... Thunderbird, Notepad, 
Notepad+ (also accepts shift-INS), LibreOffice, IrfanView, MSPaint, 
Adobe Premiere, Audacity, are all ctrl-V. Don't see anything at all 
that's ctrl-p. There are a couple of programs that won't accept a 
keyboard shortcut, but that's not what you're talking about. AFAIK my 
Linux machine downstairs (with some different software) is pretty much 
the same.
