Originally created by @jku209 on GitHub (Dec 26, 2019).

Copy, cut, pasting is a total pain. I can't get the test to copy off the terminal or past on to the terminal to execute commands. With the old CMD there wasn't an issue, I could right click on the top of the window and select an option or enter to copy. There doesn't seem to be an to use control keys. Enter just does nothing. Please let me know if im just doing it wrong.

It's unclear what the exact issue is here. Could you list you copy-paste process in a bulleted list. Something like:

  • Select text to copy in WT
  • Hit Ctrl+C
  • Change tab in WT, and make sue cursor is active
  • Hit Ctrl+V

I am having issues as well with copy paste.

I highlight some text I want to copy with the mouse. I then press ctrl+c to copy the text, but instead of copying the selected text a SIGINT is sent to the window.

This happens in both powershell and cmd windows.

I am runnning the latest build from the windows store on windows 10 build 10.0.18363.535

@pmiddleton because you're getting the SIGINT, to get copy-paste working try adding these lines to the keybindings json section of profiles.json:

{ "command": "paste", "keys": ["ctrl+v"]},
{ "command": "copy", "keys": ["ctrl+c"] },

If there's no keybindings section, just add this whole block after the profiles json section:

"keybindings":
[
{ "command": "paste", "keys": ["ctrl+v"]},
{ "command": "copy", "keys": ["ctrl+c"] }
]
