Cannot copy or paste with keyboard shortcuts on terminal

On EOS terminal i cannot copy or paste via keyboard shortcut. if i type ctrl+v for example, it just turns into ^M.

Yes. You need to use ctrl+shift+c in the terminal because ctrl+c kills processes.

When i highlight text in the terminal and type ctrl+alt+c I get a ^C result on a new line. When i try to paste text with ctrl+alt+v nothing happens.

What am I doing wrong??

Thanks

My fault, it is ctrl+shift+c. I do it subconsciously now.

I use ctrl + insert to copy and shift + insert to paste

It’s interesting, you don’t even think about such a small thing, although I usually use the right mouse button menu for this purpose.

Try kitty - it can be set to use Ctrl-c&v, using copy_or_interrupt setting:

@limotux there’s a thing even more easy
only highlight the text and push the middle mousekey at the place you want to drop it :innocent:
