Re: Pasting text in plain bash window


Fergus,

This is no doubt true because you have a line something like this one in your "$HOME/.inputrc" file:

"\M-[2~": paste-from-clipboard


At least in the past (maybe a year ago when I added this to my own .inputrc file), there was no built-in binding of this action to the "Insert" key.

To my knowledge, this is not specific to any particular Windows version or versions.

In Windows 98/SE, I find that using either of <Insert> or <Shift-Insert> in
plain bash copies the *first*line* of whatever is in the Clipboard to the
bash command line. Is this any use? (Typically, in this context, you would
only have copied one line to the Clipboard anyway, I suppose ...) Fergus
