free cmd/powershell replacement with normal copy paste

I don't know why, but I hate pressing ctrl+v and getting ^V in the powershell and cmd windows.

I always do it and then I have to back space it, out find my mouse, then right click, and select paste. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Is there a (free) fix to this? Some way to say, hey, I want ctrl+V to work like the other 99.999999% of the applications out there!

Easy with Autohotkey:

#IfWinActive ahk_class ConsoleWindowClass
^v::
SendInput {Raw}%clipboard%
return

Save that with an "ahk" extension and run it.

You can turn on Quick Edit mode in CMD and Powershell, this makes right mouse click into a paste (no menu fly out).

1. Right click on the top of your shell window (either CMD or powershell)
2. select Properties
3. check the box for Quick Edit.

Re do the steps but select Defaults in step 2, to make sure you will have the setting permanently.

You can try:

1. Console2
2. Powershell
3. TCCLE the free version

You can use PowerShell ISE. It uses the usual Windows Shortcuts
