Hi all,
Can anyone help me find a way to copy/paste text, via keyboard?
I’m happy of my Fedora35 fresh installation and I’d be more than happy if I’d be able to use shortcuts.
Surprisingly, Ctrl+Shift+C, acts similarly to F12 (developer tools).
Thank you all in advance!
Welcome to ask fedora @hookie
Can you pease give an example what and how do you want to copy?
Normaly it is for copy Ctrl & c and paste Ctrl & v (except terminal)
Was it this what you are looking for?
Unfortunately, these shortcuts don’t work.
e.g the Ctrl & C of a text, gives just a “C”
What application are you copy pasting in?
ctrl c and ctrl v work for everything apart from terminals, where we use ctrl shift c and ctrl shift v because ctrl c and ctrl v are mapped to other things.
(left) Ctrl & Shift & C, replaces my text with a “C”
(right) Ctrl & Shift & C, does nothing (suppose has copied the highlighted text, but then Ctrl & Shift + V gives nothing…
What application are we talking about? What desktop environment are you using? Gnome?
Firstly, thank you so much of your help.
I’m trying to achieve a text copy everywhere: in a web page, in KWrite…
everywhere a word can be highlighted.
So far, I can do with a right click of my mouse.
I use Fedora 35, switched to KDE plasma, since failed to find a way while in GNOME…
In a web-page or KWrite or any application other than a terminal, ctrl c copies and ctrl v pastes.
In a terminal ctrl shift c copies and ctrl shift v pastes.
If this isn’t working, that’s an issue that we need to look into.
Unfortunately I’m unable to use these shortcuts.
Also, this week upgraded a friend’s old PC (SSD disk & RAM) where installed Fedora35 as well.
The same “issue” once again…
Be noticed, I can use the terminal easily, in case of the system’s configs inspection…
THANK YOU!
I can’t find a bug about this, so we’ll have to wait for someone that uses to confirm if they’re seeing the bug or not. (I’m not on KDE unfortunately.)
Maybe a stupid question, but did you hold down [ctrl] while pressing [c]?
Hi Huben
Yes, of course.
I do what I do in Windows since long ago…
But, changed my (DELL) keyboard with my wife’s (DELL) keyb and WORKED!!!
Thank you all guys for your support!
I’d like to add to this discussion. What I kept doing was to ctl-shift-c in a browser, which opened the dev console. Or ctl-c in browser then ctl-v in the terminal, which did nothing. The answer? Smack myself the head ctl-c in the browser and ctl-shift-v in the terminal. What several of you were saying all along. Thanks!
