How can I overwrite while pasting, so that the rest (track right of the pasting point) is not shifted but stays in rythm?
When I use [Ctr+ V] , the copied content is inserted, shifting the rest of the clip.
Some forum post suggests to use [Shift+Ctrl+V], but that does nothing!
If I activate Manu > tracks > keep tracks synchron, then all tracks are split and shifted.
I cant believe that there is no simple way for this.

The simplest way is to paste into a new track. ("Tracks menu > Add New >...")

Re: How to paste overwriting
As steve suggests, you can paste into a new track. If you then select the corresponding audio in the original track guided by the yellow lines and paste again, it will do exactly what you are looking to do.
