I'm 2 out of 3 with you. (I haven't used the alt+ short-cuts before).
alt+e brings up the edit menu
alt+s brings up paste special dialog box
Unfortunately, this box presents a set of choices MS Excel 8, Biff5, HTML
etc. but they do not have any keyboard shortcuts. (I'm using Excel 2003)

Don't know of a way to make paste special values the default, but you can
keep your hands on the keyboard using Ctrl +c, then Alt +e, s, v
