    This is one of my most frequent actions and it is very awkward to perform, it feels like it's buried. The fastest way I know is
    WORKAROUND:
    • open the page thumbnail view (if not already opened)
    • right click page where I want to insert next to
    • hold Alt key while hitting nca (for "after" ) or ncb for "before"
    • hit "Enter"
    DESIRED HOTKEYS:
    Wanted are a pair of independent hotkeys, one for "After" and one for "Before" without any other clicks or keypresses would be very useful and efficient.
    • the insertion will be at active page unless a page thumbnail is selected (left click)
    • hotkey combo in desired insert Before page or After page is pressed
    That's it, that's all that ought be required to insert the clipboard contents as a new page in the document.

    Note: Would like a keyboard shortcut that inserts a page from the clipboard contents after the selected page thumbnail (one keystroke)
    Inserting Page from clipboard is the most common task I perform - it is how I save screenshots of online processes.
    The best way I have found is the following slow and cumbersome process:
    1. Right Click Page Thumbnail
    2. select "Insert Pages"
    3. select "from Clipboard"
    4. select "Before" or "After" from dialog dropdown [why isn't this a radio button?]
    5. select "OK"
    Note: I choose the above rather than going through File menu because right clicking the page thumbnail always determines the target insertion area in the doc.
