wsltty icon indicating copy to clipboard operation
wsltty copied to clipboard

Can't paste into terminal

I saw issues like #150, but I still was unable to paste into wsltty (even with clipboard manager off).

This issue is to log a fix for others. What I had to do was enable "CTL + SHIFT + letter" shortcuts in wsltty's options. Right click in the terminal (make sure you're outside of tmux or similar emulator that will capture your right click), select 'Options' > 'Keys' > Check the box 'Ctrl + Shift + letter shortcuts'. Click apply and save. You should be able to paste with CTRL+SHIFT+V.

capture your right click

While right-click is captured, you can Shift+right-click to open the context menu, or click the upper left window title icon to open the system menu, to open the Options dialog. To paste while keeping Ctrl+Shift+letter for applications, you can also just enable Copy & Paste shortcuts and use Shift+Insert, or you can paste from the context menu.
