ctr+V will finally work as paste in command prompt. Finally !
- jlebar 12y agoIt's hilarious that this makes it into the demo.
- Someone1234 12y agoIt is hilarious how terrible the terminal emulator is on Windows in general. It wasn't a big deal with CMD as, frankly, CMD barely got touched since forever. But they've been actively developing Powershell now for many years but yet shoved it into the same antiquated terminal emulator. I'm glad they're at least looking at it. Next up hopefully Control Panel. Barely changed since Windows 95 and subpar relative to what Apple do in OS X.
- bentcorner 12y agoIt's (I think) symptomatic of an organization that prioritizes new-hotness work over old-and-busted work.

- joeld42 12y agoI think that was their messaging -- the theme of these release is "we've fixed all the annoying things people complain about, from the Start Button for novice users to command prompt for power users". They want this release to feel, above all, familiar.
- truncate 12y agoI hope they make it resizeable too like any other emulator on *nix world.
- stinos 12y agoIf you do any terminal work whatsoever on Windows (be it cmd/powershell/cygwin) I highly recommend ConEmu which has that and all other goodies you find on other OS's decent terminal apps
- baby 12y agoI use cmder, it's beautiful and it has pipeline, emacs shortcuts, less, grep, cat, ls, ssh, and more.
- kyriakos 12y agocmder is basically a customised conemu
- maskedinvader 12y agounfortunately I work for a large enterprise that wont even give developers admin access to their machines, so I'm stuck with cmd :(
- stinos 12y agoyou don't need admin access to use conemu/cmder: download a zip, extract to any place you do have access to and off you go
- maskedinvader 12y agothanks for that, will check it out.
- Igglyboo 12y agobeware that this will stop your current job in the unix world
- u124556 12y agoCtrl+Shift+V
- laacz 12y agoAnd I've already got used to "Alt+Space", then "E", then "P".
- paws 12y agoPaste in command prompt? This works today: Alt-Space, E, P
- eclipxe 12y agoOh, that's simple
- puhfyn 12y agoThere's been "QuickEdit" Mode for years which lets you right-click the mouse to paste or to copy text. But, CTRL+V will be a nice convenience. To enable QuickEdit mode: right-click command prompt title bar and choose "Properties" from the context menu. In the "Options" tab, check "QuickEdit Mode". Now you can select text by pressing and dragging mouse, copy text with right click, and paste text with right click.
- visionscaper 12y agoAbsence of ctrl+v in the terminal was one of the most simple and obvious clous that Microsoft didn't give a .... about developers. Absurd ad infinitum that it took this long.
- vmarsy 12y agomaybe because serious Windows developers shouldn't be using command prompt? Powershell and Powershell ISE is available for almost a decade now?
- visionscaper 12y agoWhy would I need an additional shell app to be able to simply use ctrl+v? For instance, on OS X I use the default terminal shipped with the OS, it does everything I need for a terminal application. Is a pasting functionality consistent with the rest of the OS too much to ask for a default shell?
- vmarsy 12y agoThat's a fair point. powershell ships by default though, it should be the default instead of cmd.exe
- freehunter 12y agoPowershell can't handle ctrl+v either. It puts in a ^V character. You can paste with a right click in Powershell, but no ctrl+v.
- vmarsy 12y ago"Powershell ISE" does
- freehunter 12y agoISE isn't really a terminal emulator though. It's an IDE.
