Hyper: Paste : ^V

[diomed]

Why can't I simply paste with Ctrl+V?

When I do ^V appears. :|

Hi @diomed
If you are using macOS, then you should use cmd+V instead of ctrl+V.
Let me know if it gets resolved.

not mac, windows 10

[tanvinerkar]

@diomed Alright. I'll spend some time to resolve this.

I see that paste is Ctrl + Shift + V
but I used without Shift

Is there any good reason why Shift is included in this?
Isn't it a bit too much?

[tanvinerkar]

I am using Mac, so it is difficult for me to try out all possible hotkey combinations. Will try it out once I get access to a Windows-running system.

I have seen Ctrl+Shift+V more than Ctrl+V in the terminal world.

Ctrl + Shift + V lets you paste, Ctrl + V gets used by programs. If we allow it to be Ctrl + V people will complain about Emacs being broke. I'm sure you can rebind it in settings.

[diomed]

@voronoipotato could you please tell me how to rebind it?

[pcnate]

In your settings add these two lines inside your keymaps

  keymaps: {
    "editor:copy": "ctrl+c",
    "editor:paste": "ctrl+v",
  },

All current keymaps are found here https://github.com/zeit/hyper/tree/master/app/keymaps

[voronoipotato]

If you do you will likely break existing programs that leverage ctrl+v. You can find it under keymaps

keymaps: {
"editor:paste": "ctrl+v",
}

Swim at your own risk...

I would definitely not recommend rebinding ctrl+c because that's how you exit most programs. Just learn to get comfortable with ctrl + shift + v . You'll thank me later when you have to learn it anyway.

As some general life advice, beware those who give you what you ask of them. Especially when others push back.
