I know that Ctrl + V doesnt work in terminal.
But until Zorin OS 17 Ctrl + Shift + V worked in Terminal.
Now, doesnt matter what I press, the only way i can paste into Terminal is by mouse.
What am I doing wrong?
Hi, did a quick Brave A.I. search via Mojeek which came back with:
" Ctrl+Shift+V is the standard keyboard shortcut for pasting in GNOME Terminal on GNOME 46. If it's not working, the most common causes and solutions are:
- Check for conflicting shortcuts : The key combination might be overridden by another system or application shortcut. Go to Settings > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts and verify that Ctrl+Shift+V is assigned to "Paste" in GNOME Terminal.
- Ensure primary selection is enabled : GNOME Terminal uses two clipboards: PRIMARY (selected text, pasted with middle-click) and CLIPBOARD (copied with Ctrl+Shift+C, pasted with Ctrl+Shift+V). If you're trying to paste from the clipboard, ensure the CLIPBOARD selection is being used.
- Enable primary paste : If middle-click paste isn’t working, it might be disabled. Run the following command in the terminal:
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-enable-primary-paste true
Then restart the terminal.
- Use alternative methods :
- Middle-click to paste selected text (PRIMARY selection).
- Shift+Insert to paste from the PRIMARY selection (works in most terminals).
- Right-click > Paste from the context menu.
If the issue persists, try restarting GNOME Shell (Alt+F2, type r , press Enter) or rebooting.
