In ~/.inputrc file I have just this line: "\e[2~": paste-from-clipboard I start cygwin terminal (as C:\cyg64\bin\bash.exe --login -i), from another (say, GUI) place I copy some text into clipboard and I try to include it with Insert key to cygwin terminal. Nothing happend. I tried run `sed -n l` to check that my Insert key gives right keystroke: $> sed -n l \033[2~$ So it looks like keystroke is mapped good. I included another line in ~/.inputrc just to verify, that ~/.inputrc is sourced: "\e[3~": end-of-line and now when I hit Delete key, cursor is moved at the end of line. So looks like ~/.inputrc is sourced and works. But I can't include from clipboard. In terminal definition I have checked Quick edit mode and Insert mode. Does someone know what I'm doing wrong? My system: Win7 64 Professional, English.

Nothing happend. I still have not had time to try and reproduce this issue. But a short answer might be that the clipboard behaves differently on cygwin than on other systems; it may be that your key-binding worked, but that bash's attempt to read from the clipboard found no data.

Sanity check - does this even work with Linux? I just tried it with Lubuntu, and it does not work either. Only the default Shift+Insert or Ctrl+Shift+V work.

Control-Insert, Shift-Delete, Shift-Insert may be from X-selection keystrokes in the early days; Ctrl-C, Ctrl-X, Ctrl-V, Ctrl-Z may be from Xerox Alto or Star window systems, and were used for clipboard operations on X window systems. MS Windows took a lot of its early designs from Motif, so those keystrokes were adopted and implemented at the window level, and are still available even when the application does not support Copy, Cut, Paste; later when MS borrowed from Apple, they adopted the Apple keystrokes for application supported operations, including formatting and graphics. -- Take care.

I have the same problem as the OP. I am on libreadline 7.0.3-3 - as far as I can see, the paste-from-clipboard command has become a no-op.

Yes, I am certain. readline 6.3.8-1 is working, and 7.0.1-1 is broken. To be clear, the issue is nothing to do with the particular keybinding. Whatever I bind paste-from-clipboard to in .inputrc, the result is a no-op when using versions of readline 7.0.1-1 and later. It seems that you yourself reported another issue with readline 7.0.1-1 on Jan 13th, 2017, which as far as I can see is still not resolved. It's a shame that the working versions of readline are no longer readily available in the mirrors. Based on that thread, it looks like it might be significant to mention that I am running bash from within cmd.exe. -- Sent from: http://cygwin.1069669.n5.nabble.com/Cygwin-list-f3.html -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 21+ messages in thread

It appears that the issue that the OP and I are suffering from is unrelated to the one in the linked fix. For reference, the original post was as follows: https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2017-05/msg00183.html One suggestion, from Eric Blake and others, was > Does 'cat /dev/clipboard' output the data you are expecting to see? The result is that it does - the correct data is in the clipboard but that paste-from-clipboard acts as a no-op. This is still broken as of the latest release of libreadline 7.0.3-3 . Downgrading to the DLLs present in libreadline 6.3.8-1 (as well as, naturally, a matching bash.exe and sh.exe) resolves the problem Many thanks for any help -- Sent from: http://cygwin.1069669.n5.nabble.com/Cygwin-list-f3.html -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 21+ messages in thread
