Environment

Windows build number: Windows 10 V1909(Build No: 18363.535)
Windows Terminal version (if applicable): V 0.7

Any other software?

Steps to reproduce

  1. Copy text from an app/window using CTRL+C
  2. Open Windows Terminal and select a Cmd/Ubuntu profile
  3. Hit WIN+V to paste text from Cloud Clipboard
  4. Cloud Clipboard's text entry selection window appears
  5. Select a text entry (e.g. previously copied text) to paste into Terminal

Expected behavior

The selected entry's text is pasted into Terminal

Actual behavior

  • CMD: ^V is pasted
  • Ubuntu: No text, or ^V is pasted

Note: This works in PowerShell 7.0!

This bug makes me cry.

I've been trying for a while now to get a more universal way of getting the cloud clipboard (the win+v dialog) to work with applications. Right now, it literally just sends a ctrl+v keystroke to the target window. If for whatever reason ctrl+v isn't the keybinding for paste in that application, then the cloud clipboard simply doesn't work. Case in point: running wsl in conhost.exe, that just doesn't work with the cloud clipboard.

It doesn't look like there's a dupe for this issue so I'll leave it open. Also related is #322. Also, cc @bitcrazed

I'll re-awaken that thread with the Cloud Clipboard team.

On second thought, we're going to make this one a /dupe of #322. It's easier for us to track this way. Thanks!
