I have looked everywhere for a command button, (Mac OS), but found none. There are a control and an escape buttons, but no Command that could apply to V ! Thanks, E.

I just do a long press and select paste.

That simple, indeed. Stupid of me. Many thanks, a-shell is awesome!

There is also the pbpaste (and pbcopy) command. On Wed, May 18, 2022 at 10:23 AM anothersailor @.***> wrote:

Long press seems tricky on my ipad pro. A couple of copy/paste buttons on the toolbar would be MUCH better.

Other people have asked for it too. I'll be adding the cut-copy-paste buttons to the next TestFlight version to see whether it improves user experience. I'd say it's mostly useful for paste, but it seems weird to provide only the paste button.

Edit: after more tests, I kept only the paste button. Cut and Copy are present once you have selected some text.

It's now out for TestFlight, if you want to test it: https://testflight.apple.com/join/REdHww5C

@holzschu it's cool! Very useful, but it seems to do something known as "paste mode", adding extra symbols to pasted text.

'text to paste' becomes [200~text to paste[201~.

I'm not sure how to disable that. It seems to be a mode of the term, which can be disabled with some escape codes, but I cannot printf

That's interesting; the pbpaste command, which also pastes, does not have the control characters. Looking at the code, the paste button and the pbpaste command are basically the same, except one is written in Swift and the other is written in Objective-C. This is very intriguing.

I had the same issue as you on the day you sent it, but now I cannot reproduce it anymore. Whether I use the paste button or the pbpaste command, the control characters are stripped, at least on my devices.

@holzschu it no longer happens on my side either ... What on earth ? 😄 ... Thanks for the magical solution !
