Windows 10 build 14316: Ctrl + v doesn't work on Bash on Ubuntu on Windows
On the new Windows 10 insider build 14316, I haven't been able to use Ctrl + V (shortcut for paste) on the new Bash on Ubunbu on Windows app. Has anybody else had this issue? Any solutions?
I have edited the app's properties to enable control shortcuts and insert. Also, I have tried Ctrl + Shift + V and Shift + Insert and neither work.
Solution 1:
Why don't you guys just Right Click? here is how to enable copy and paste:
- Go to the top of the bash window, right click, go to properties
-
Check the box that says Quick edit Mode, and you are set!
Good day!
-- Activate Quick Edit mode, then mouse left-click is select text, right DOUBLE-click is PASTE
Solution 2:
The main issue, I believe, is that cmd.exe isn't dealing well with the bash environment. By itself the new cmd.exe actually does support Ctrl+v but whilst running bash, it doesn't.
My workaround is to use ConEmu. It's much superior to cmd.exe alone and even gives you color highlighting when running bash. I've tested it and Ctrl+v does work. As a nice plus, you get a tabbed terminal.
