Why does pasting sometimes not work in gnome-terminal?
- by Matthew
Ctrl + Shift + C and Ctrl + Shift + V are supposed to replace the normal Ctrl + C and Ctrl + V in gnome-terminal.
Sometimes they work, but usually they have no effect. What are some potential reasons for this? I'm not sure what other information to give.
Edit: It seems that manually selecting Paste from the Edit menu does not work either. Right click > Paste works, but Edit > Paste does not. Copying works, but pasting does not.
Also, I have vi-mode enabled (set -o vi in my ~/.bashrc). Could this have something to do with it?
Edit: Here is a video demonstrating the problem. I used Screenkey (in "raw" mode, to catch "shift") to show what keys I am pressing.
