[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #39785] C-v paste behavior different in Unix and Windows GUI terminal windows

[Philip Nienhuis]

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #39785 (project octave):

Just had a chance to check in Matlab:

Normally in most Windows progs C-v would replace selected text by the text in
the clipboard (or other clipboard contents if appropriate).

In the Matlab terminal however, C-v pastes clipboard text at the prompt AND
clears selection of text elsewhere in the terminal.
I suppose that is what Matlab users would expect for C-v.

As regards Octave on Windows (GUI mode), C-v, C-x and C-c still don't work
(copying to / pasting from the clipboard currently works via a right-click
popup menu). So it isn't unexpected that in the Octave terminal this still
doesn't work.

In octave-cli.exe (in fact, a cmd32.exe window) the key bindings differ from
other Windows GUI programs (<Enter>-key = copy selection, right-click =
paste). C-v does clear a text selection, but in fact any key press will do
that.

Is this the information you needed?
