How does one paste the clipboard to the shell command line?

I have looked everywhere for a command button, (Mac OS), but found none. There are a control and an escape buttons, but no Command that could apply to V ! Thanks, E.

I just do a long press and select paste.

That simple, indeed. Stupid of me. Many thanks, a-shell is awesome!

There is also the pbpaste (and pbcopy) command. On Wed, May 18, 2022 at 10:23 AM anothersailor @.***> wrote:

Long press seems tricky on my ipad pro. A couple of copy/paste buttons on the toolbar would be MUCH better.

Other people have asked for it too. I'll be adding the cut-copy-paste buttons to the next TestFlight version to see whether it improves user experience. I'd say it's mostly useful for paste, but it seems weird to provide only the paste button.

Edit: after more tests, I kept only the paste button. Cut and Copy are present once you have selected some text.

It's now out for TestFlight, if you want to test it: https://testflight.apple.com/join/REdHww5C
