How to make Ctrl+V work in CLion

Question

I am having difficulty getting Ctrl+V to paste code in CLion (I am using version 1.1.1 for Windows). When I try to paste code copied using Ctrl+C from e.g. a website or another program, it only seems to work occasionally. Usually it pastes a piece of text that was not the most recently copied.

I use other JetBrains IDEs (IntelliJ IDEA, PyCharm) and have never had any problems with something so basic.

Has anybody else encountered this problem and found a solution to it?

Answer 1

I had the same problem and this is the way I fixed it: Go to: Settings > plugins and disable 'ideaVim' plugin

Answer 2

I had the same problem and this is the way I fixed it:

• Ctrl+Shift+V (brings up the clipboard history)
• Delete all entries
• Recopy what you wanted to paste from outside CLion
• Try pasting again

Let me know if it didn't work for you so I can see if there is some step you are missing. Hope this helps!
