When I try to paste into Cygwin using Shift+Ins (whether from inside or outside Cygwin) it turns into "4;2~". I'm running Windows 10. How do I fix this?
Turn off FnLock. I had FnLock on so the sequence was being interpreted as Shift+F12.

I'm running vscode into a Debian WSL subsystem on top of my Windows 10 workstation, thanks to Xfce4 window-session and vcXsrv X server.
I'm working on a Python 3 project and I have a strange behavior with my vscode editor running on WSL that I can't reproduce with either the native Windows or Linux build : Let's say in want to access a dict key, I'd type the following code:
my_dict[
here I'm expecting IntelliSense auto-close the bracket and keep the cursor between the brackets. This what usually happens (at least with my native vscode on Windows and on my vscode on my /real/ Linux box). But this is not what happens on my WSL !
Seems the cursors goes backward before actually typing the open bracket so the bracket is typed one char earlier, and finally don't close the bracket, To be clearI get the following typed in the editor:
my_dic[t
If I workaround by typing a space before typing the opening bracket, I get the same behavior but this time as the earlier char is a space IntelliSense is functionning /almost/ as expected, forwarding the typed space at the end of line (bellow the '$' represents EOL) :
my_dict[] $
I experienced this with brackets ([]) and also braces ({}), with python code and also JSON files, so I don't wonder this is related to language extension.
Last but not least, the only installed extension, is "Python 2019.1.0" by Microsoft and the setup is full stock with no customization at all...
I spent hours reading vscode documentation and browsing for similar issue, with no luck (maybe wrong keywords ?), so any hint will be appreciated, thanks !
In the backend, you're still utilizing conhost from the Windows Console to run all your terminal commands. Some cursor behaviors don't work properly in earlier builds of Windows on WSL (but do work fine on Windows). Try to update to the latest and see if you still encounter the issue. If you do then, check for an issue in https://github.com/Microsoft/console and create one if not there.
setClipboardString and modifyClipboardString are not changing clipboard for me (reading clipboard is fine). I am trying it on KDE (Kubuntu 16.04).
Is there something special required to make it work or is there some other way of accessing clipboard?
Tried another library - HClip (with xclip) and its setClipboard is working as intended.
PS: I am using CopyQ and IDEA which may be interfering with clipboard operations.
I have a itcl/tk application that runs fine on Linux (and for the most part on Windows too). Have a frame where I packed an iwidgets::scrolledframe and within that an iwidgets::tabnotebook where two tabs were added.
Never have a problem on Linux, but on Windows (using Win7) often the 2nd tab is missing. Sometimes exiting and reinvoking the application on Windows and it will appear, but often it just never does. I have tried reorganizing code, inserted "update idletasks", to no avail.
Not sure if there are other tricks, or need to dig into itcl/tk installed code, or if could be a potentially a PC machine hardware issue.
Any ideas or suggestions of things to try will be graciously appreciated.
Turns out I appeared to resolve this via a strategically place update idletasks afterall. ;)
I just started programming J. Now I want to type
text=: 'hello world'
text
in the gtk terminal, which when run should display:
hello world
But when I type the single quote character it renders as ´, not as ' in the gtk terminal. And then when I run the program the interpreter says "spelling error".
Now the only way I can put a ' in the terminal is by typing it in notepad and pasting it in the gtk terminal. I find that cumbersome.
Now my question is:
Is there an easier way to type a ' in the gtk terminal?
I have Windows 7 64 bits version, also 64 bits version of J, version j64-701.
I just encountered this problem as well, and it appears that this is caused by a keyboard setting (controlling whether quotes appear directly or can be used to make é, ë and the like).
This setting can be changed in almost all Windows applications by pressing Left Alt + Shift. After using this combination, the single quotes appeared correctly for me.
HTH.
I've faced exactly the same problem and I found out that it happens in every software that uses GTK+ (Pidgin, GIMP, Geany, etc), if you have set your keyboard to English-International, when you press the single quote(')/double quote(") key, what you get is acute accent(´)/diacritic(¨).
The best solution to me was, adding the English-US keyboard to the list of available keyboards in Windows (yes, this solution is for windows but you can easily do something similar in any SO you are facing the same problem).
And when I want to input an [ ' ], I just press the default combination LEFT CONTROL + SHIFT to toggle between keyboards.
Long shot, but I'm guessing it's a keyboard thing. My French keyboard has a funky layout, and yours (I'm guessing Dutch?) might have one too. I guess I'm lucky, under Vista 64, I get single quotes, with the right key.
I think it's a bug of the specific version of J. I will ask this question to the support of the producers of J.
I recently updated my Eclipse to the latest release 3.5 and since then I have a very annoying problem with c&p using the shortcuts.
In an editor (xml, jsp, doesn't matter which one) I try to copy something and paste it somewhere else, nothing happens. When I cut out something and put it somewhere else I sometimes get something else (like a messed up part of my previous selection) or just some whitespaces. This gets even worse when I change lines in between.
First I thought that my keyboard is probably broken but it works just fine in other programs. Then I tried using the context menus' c&p and there it works. Yesterday I managed to get at least an error message when I tried to copy a file in the navigator from one project to another (the message was just "error using copy...bla". no details).
Does anyone else have this problem, or know how to solve it?
I am running on Kubuntu 9.04, and have quite some plugins installed (but only from the Galileo Updates Site), like Birt, Mylin, WST, or Subversive.
For my problem, I had to go to Window > Preferences > Java > Editor > Typing, and uncheck "Update imports"
This must be related to the key mapping, since those shortcuts are defined according to context.
(Column "When", in Preferences / General / Keys)
Check if those shortcuts do not work for any editor (do they work for Java editor?)
If they work for some editor, not for other, then some plugin settings must have re-affected them to another command.
This is caused by various X clipboard managers doing weird things with the clipboard. (bug report).
In XFCE the clipman applet was rolled in XFCE 4.8, and will be the source of these problems.
To fix this in XFCE - kill xfce4-settings-helper. You will need to use Settings Manager -> Session and Startup -> Session to kill it, as otherwise it may restart automatically.
To prevent this starting next time, you will need to remove it from your startup/login programs in Settings Manager > Session and Startup > Application Autostart.
Problem was solved with newer Eclipse releases. I think >= 3.6. Depending on your distribution there may be a (back)port of this (not on my Xubuntu 11.04) within the repositories.
So a tarball installation of Eclipse 4.0 works perfectly for me. Cut&Paste works and I am lucky that my plugins are compatible to 4.0.
Unfortunately Sublime Text has the same problems.
I read somewhere that in KDE maybe Klipper / "Klipper on the panel" conflicts with eclipse copy action.
It's a tool for clipboard history. Try to remove that! It may solve your problem :-/
For me the xfce4-settings-helper killing worked.
Workaround:
You can cut&paste from the compare view. So simply compare the un-copyable file (e.g., local history) with a different version and Control-C what you need there.
In the *.java editor page, right click and select open in text editor. Past your snippet there. Your Snippet will show in the *.java page'
I use Eclipse Kepler for PHP development. It's dumb I know.
None of the solutions suggested here has solved this source of frustration.
I can confirm the copy function works whether shortcut keys are bound or not. As I can copy from eclipse and paste into any other application. Except eclipse.
My solution. Accidental discovery: Eclipse Kepler will allow you to paste outside the php open and close tags and allow you to click and drag the highlighted block of content into into position.
Acceptable solution for small bits of code. Horribly crippling for larger development environments.
For Xming, this resolved the problem for me. In XLaunch uncheck Clipboard (clipboard manager) in the "Specify parameter settings" GUI form.
