How do you copy and paste into Git Bash

Question

I'm using msysgit running on Windows XP.

Tried Ctrl+V, Right click, Middle click, google... no luck.

Answer 1

For users working on Windows 7, Shift + INSERT works fine.

Answer 2

I'm back to Windows for the first time in a long time and this got me cursing like a docker. I finally found this:

Enabling Ctrl+Shift+letter shortcuts got me to a Linux-like behaviour that has lowered my blood pressure. Ctrl+Shift+C/Vnow works.

Answer 3

In the properties of the console you can activate the "Quick Edit Mode" under "Edit Options", that way you can paste inside the console just right clicking. Or you can use 'Insert' as they say.

Answer 4

Use Shift + Insert like in linux bash

Edit: It works even in putty.

Answer 5

You can also just right-click in the console window. Be sure (as per earlier answers) to enable both 'Edit Options' in the Properties panel (from the System menu).

Answer 6

MacBook pro doesnt have an ins key. Use FN + ENTER to paste
