Neovim-qt: Inserting in insert mode inserts <S-Insert>

[xelra]

This is on Windows.

When going into insert mode and really inserting via Shift+Insert, it will insert <S-Insert> instead of what's in the clipboard.

The clipboard provider works well though. Inserting in normal mode via "+p or "*p works as expected.

The output is a bug, but by default shift insert would not work for pasting, in regular nvim this is handled by the console.

You can define a mapping for it

cmap <S-Insert>  <C-R>+

I see, so I put that in my ginit.vim.

I think it would make sense to have this default in Neovim-Qt. It might be handled by the terminal emulator in Neovim, but I think everyone expects <S-Insert> to paste the clipboard.

It's one of those things that just bloat ginit.vim and is a hurdle for new users.

I used

map! <S-Insert> <C-R>+

now, but it doesn't work as expected. In insert mode it adds a newline and in command mode it appends ^M.

After doing some research on the issue tracker, I think this is related to https://github.com/equalsraf/neovim-qt/issues/218.

So now is there any way to paste the contents of the clipboard?

"+p will paste from the system clipboard

"+y will copy to it

By design. Neovim does not map <S-Insert> as paste.

You need to add a mapping such as:
map! <S-Insert> <C-R>+
