@yo @alexhall No, definitely there's stuff ont the clipboard, I tried copying it from a different application.

@modulux @alexhall dang, that's weird. I'd poke with trying to change the paste shortcut in Windows Terminal, but I have little faith on that.

I'm really puzzled. There's many things about terminal emulation that can cause issues, like backspace not working, but it's been maybe a decade since I've suffered any significant issue. (Except for programs breaking under GNU Screen, of course.)

I'll go install NVDA, I've always wanted to play with it.

@yo @alexhall Tried pressing ins twice quickly with shift pressed. Something goes through the terminal but it does not paste.

@modulux @yo Same, and I'm on Windows 11. I get the text

2~

@alexhall @modulux I really don't want to waste your time, but that's interesting.

Does that depend on whether you are in a SSH session or not? Because that does sound like a problem with terminal emulation.

@yo @alexhall Yes, it's specific to ssh and such.

@modulux @alexhall for me, with NVDA, it shift+insert+insert works the same in cmd.exe and within ssh.exe inside cmd.exe.

From what I understand about terminals and SSH, SSH should not make any difference. So it's sounds like this surpasses my knowledge.

I'm following alexhall now and I was already following modulux; if you ever figure it out, I'm supercurious!

(Let me know if I can do anything more, but I think I'm useless right now.)

@alexhall @modulux ah, I saw the solution elsewhere in the thread. Glad it worked out!

@yo @alexhall @modulux In case it might be useful to you.
Try the Console Log add-on.
It has a configurable shortcut specifically for those consoles where pasting doesn't work properly.
It also includes other utilities.
If that's the only feature you need, I can extract it into a simple script for the scratchpad folder.
Here is the latest version of the add-on:
