I'm not sure if it works with PQ without problems, you could try it with VBA.
I also don't know your digital environment (Excel version, operating system, storage medium, etc.),
so I'm not sure whether VBA could be a solution at all in your digital environment.
Whatever the case, the proof of the pudding is in the studying :).
Attached is the VBA code and an example file.
Option Explicit
Private Sub Workbook_Activate()
Application.CutCopyMode = False
End Sub
Private Sub Workbook_SheetActivate(ByVal Sh As Object)

End Sub
Private Sub Workbook_SheetSelectionChange(ByVal Sh As Object, ByVal Target As Range)
Application.CutCopyMode = False
End Sub
Hope I could help you with these information.
I know I don't know anything (Socrates)
