Windows Terminal version

1.12.10982.0

Windows build number

19044.1645

Other Software

Powershell 7.2.2

Steps to reproduce

  1. Copy some text content to paste (a URL, a string, a file hash, etc.)
  2. Run Windows Terminal with an equivalent Powershell 7.2.2 tab open
  3. Paste into the shell tab/window (via Shift+Insert, or custom Ctrl+V action declared in settings.json)
  4. Press Ctrl+Z

Expected Behavior

The pasted content is erased

Correct behavior: (Run from pwsh.exe directly, Ctrl+Z erases pasted content)

Actual Behavior

One character is erased from end of line per press (same as backspace)

Broken behavior: (Ctrl+Z erases one character per press)

@zadjii-msft commented on GitHub (May 3, 2022):

Huh, well, that kinda makes sense. When the Terminal pastes with its action, it actually sends each keystroke individually. Compare that with the original powershell's Ctrl+V handler, where they actually opened the clipboard themselves and added the contents to the input buffer in one go, themselves.

You can get a similar behavior in Windows Terminal by actually unbinding Ctrl+V. That'll let the key fall through to powershell, and then they'll do their thing to paste the clipboard contents manually.
