Default Keyboard shortcut to paste as plain unformatted text.

I need a keyboard shortcut to paste as plain unformatted text in Word.

I usually do Ctrl+V to paste, then tap and release the Ctrl key to open the pasting menu (which is weird, by the way) and press T for "Keep Text Only". This requires three separate actions to perform [1. Ctrl+V, 2. Ctrl, 3. T]

But in many other applications (such as Google Chrome, for example) you simply press Ctrl+Shift+V and it pastes as plain, unformatted text with a single action shortcut. I'd like to do the same in Microsoft Office -- specifically Word 2016.

Is there a command I can bind to Ctrl+Shift+V that will allow this? How can I do it in a single keyboard shortcut instead of the aforementioned three-step process?
