I don't know if this is by design, but Ctrl+V still doesn't work. Shift+Insert does though.

I don't know if this is by design, but Ctrl+V still doesn't work. Shift+Insert does though.
- ygra 7y agoPerhaps Ctrl+Shift+V, which is also used in a lot of Unix terminals since Ctrl+V usually would insert some control character that no one needs, but the hotkey cannot take that away.
- classified 7y agoUsing the Control key for GUI shortcuts in a terminal, where control codes are part of the interface has always been an extremely dumb idea, just like backslashes as directory separators in path names, but that's Microsoft for you.
- ygra 7y agoHuh? I'm not aware of any shortcuts using the Ctrl key in the console host (which uses function keys) or the new terminal (where the post I commented on complained that Ctrl+V does not work).
- classified 7y agoThe fact that you're missing it from an incomplete pre-release doesn't make the idea any smarter.
- Yizahi 7y agoMeanwhile my corporation just bought new HP ZBook 14 which don't have Insert key. Instead it has dumb phone keys and something with a monitor painted on, 3 useless buttons instead of proper keys. No sysrq, no pause/break either. And this modes is supposedly for "work", not for gaming or media (from marketing point of view). It is so frustrating to press extra keys just to have ctrl+ins and shift+ins.
- vezycash 7y agoCan't you give it back to the corporation? Else, this is only the beginning of your frustrations. The next upgrade would almost certainly be worse.
- Yizahi 7y agoThis is a centralized upgrade, so they won't change the contract just for me and we don't have a BYOD policy here. Anyway - external KB alleviates it mostly, I'm just ranting at a corporations making "Pro" or "Workstation" devices clearly downgraded for these same categories - professional workers. Macbooks without F keys, lenovo cutting keyboards from best in industry to "meh" and so on.
- aliswe 7y agoHow about an external keyboard to alleviate the problems though.
- Yizahi 7y agoAt workplace this is what I do, mostly for better key profile - I'm using MS Natural 4000 with a front bar. But when traveling or working from home I'm using it as-is, with a laptop KB.
- dingo_bat 7y agoFn + E should work as Ins.
- aliswe 7y agoYou can add the following in your settings: "keybindings": [ { "command": "copy", "keys": [ "ctrl+c" ] }, { "command": "paste", "keys": [ "ctrl+v" ] } ] Please raise your opinions in this issue: https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/issues/968 https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/issues/968
- sgt 7y agoHCL (HashiCorp's version of JSON) would be ideally suited for this kind of configurations.
- classified 7y agoThis is JSON, why put a brand name on it?
- sgt 7y agoI shouldn't have called it "their JSON". Systems that accept HCL usually accept JSON as well, but HCL is much more human friendly. See https://github.com/hashicorp/hcl https://github.com/hashicorp/hcl
- classified 7y agoWould that work with "alt" instead of "ctrl"? Using the Control key for command shortcuts in a terminal may not be the smartest idea.
- kyriakos 7y agoCTRL-SHIFT-V works for me.
- mekster 7y ago2020 and their terminal still doesn't paste like every other app in existence? I don't even know how to type "Insert" on my non full keyboard.
- ducaale 7y agoHave you tried ctrl-shift-v?
