You can change maker.ini to change the default Paste Special behaviour.
Look for this line:
ClipboardFormatsPriorities=TEXT,MIF, RTF, FILE, OLE 2, EMF, META, DIB,
BMP,
The default choice is on the left (in my case, TEXT). I'm not sure which
abbreviation is for linked objects. 

Setting keystrokes is described in 
...\Adobe\FrameMaker...\OnlineManuals\Customizing_Frame_Products.pdf

Keystrokes are listed in 
...\Adobe\FrameMaker...\fminit\configui\*
