I don't follow you. In OOo:

Click on the cell you want copied.
Crtl-C
Click on the destination cell.
Ctrl-V

That's it. Or, this works:

Click on the cell you want copied.
Crtl-C
Click on the destination cell.
Hit <enter>.

Perhaps I don't understand what you mean by "clicks", especially as you 
are describing keyboard actions rather than mouse actions.

What has Ctrl-P to do with copy/paste? That brings up the print dialog 
for me.

(OOo 3.0.1 in Ubuntu; same in LO 3.3.2 in Windows)
