This solution seems to only work in certain places. For example, it's not working in MS Word. Also, why is it "shift command V" in some places and "shift option command V" in others?

Start simple. Find a project on YouTube that looks interesting and go for it. For the tools yeah they can be expensive. For me I buy v1 at Harbor Freight for cheap. If I use it enough to break it time for v2 from Snap-On, Dewalt, Milwaukee.
First project I ever did was a workbench. It's a great first project as you can use it for all of your future projects. Have fun.
