Right clicking is hard.
But when you are in keyboard mode, it really is a pain though.It's pretty rare that I'm in keyboard mode and want to copy/paste from somewhere else... how did I get to that window?
Alt tab of course!
It's a personal preference for sure, but I hate right clicking to paste text.
-
And Shift-Insert doesn't work for you.
-
@fuznutz04 the mouse is your friend... he's there to help.

@scottalanmiller Not to just paste text from your clipboard. Unless I am missing something....

What else do you want to paste into the command line?

It's not different. Let's try this again... sometimes, people want to paste multiple lines of text, or something similar from a notepad on their windows box, into a file on a *nix box. This isn't possible with putty as far as I am aware of. This cmder software solves that.

edit: isn't possible using normal shortcuts that specific people are used to (Ctrl V)

I don't follow. How does cmder do that in a way that Putty does not?

@scottalanmiller See my edit directly above.

Ah, the older non-standard ones.

The one that everyone uses in the Windows world for text editing.

How does cmder handle sending a real Ctrl-V through if it hijacks it for pasting?

No one needs Ctrl+V anyway.

Only on ML, will we have a thread about pasting that is already 19 posts long.

@fuznutz04
This guy writes a few pages on why.

Because we find solutions!
We found that the industry standard key sequence standard to all three major OS families works with putty and doesn't require new tools or anything

@scottalanmiller Well now I just feel embarrassed. Yesterday, I was trying this inside a windows VM, and using a mac keyboard. I couldn't get shift insert to work properly. Tried it this morning on my windows box, and of course, it worked.
-
Ctrl+insert - copy, shift+insert - paste, just different keys, that's all. On macOS it's cmd+c, cmd+v, different systems, different keystrokes. As an IT pro it's your job to learn these things.
