Why Is Ctrl V Not Working
Join GitHub today
However, isn't it odd that both CTRL keys stopped working at the same time. And, it seems that randomly and rarely, they work! Ever once in a while I'll try CTRL-C and it works!
However the shortcuts as Ctrl + C, Ctrl + V, Ctrl + X don't work at all. This is the case in all programmes including word, Excel and Firefox. Ctrl + Insert and Shift + Insert do work for copy and paste function but frankly they are far less convenient. Sep 25, 2018 - Many Windows users are recently reporting an issue with their keyboard. What happens is their Control-C command is not working properly.

Using Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V on my Windows 10 box doesn't work as expected, however I note, it does work on Mac. On Windows, pressing Ctrl-C in the terminal does not update the clipboard, while Pressing Ctrl-V displays '^V'. The word-around is use the menu options, but this becomes a drag after a while. It'd be great if this could be fixed. Thanks, and keep up the great work! |

+1 same on Linux, please make Ctrl-Shift-C and Ctrl-Shift-V for copy pasting |

I swear this was working on my Mac a while back but maybe that was terminal-plus which no longer works at all. But Cmd-C and Cmd-V are not working in macOS either. |

Same issue as @pelted - I swear it was working as early as a few weeks ago. Maybe an Atom update nuked it? |

Any progress on this? |

@blcarson I know this sounds kind of stupid, but I had a an entire bug report written up before I thought to check this. Do you have keybindings enabled for the package? Turning keybindings on fixed the same problem for me. If that's not the problem, I would create a new issue, as this one's specifically referencing the fact that copy and paste aren't supported on Windows. |

I can't believe is so hard to find an easy fix for this issue. The most important feature for any terminal shell - after running the actual script - is to have keyboard shortcuts for copy and pasting. They are vital. I wouldn't use a terminal in the first place, i was not comfortable with the keyboard. Forcing me to use the mouse or menu drop-downs is against this hole terminal idea. It's a terminal shell or it's a UI ? .. Is there a technical limitation? What specific challenges we have in implementing this functionality? |

This is fixed a while back and better with 2.9.0 |
