Paste in Nano is not working

4

I used Ctrl+Shift+6 to select a block of text in Nano, then cut it with Ctrl+K.  This successfully removed the text from my buffer.

But when I do Ctrl+U to paste what I had cut, nothing is pasted.

Where did my text go? Can I get it back?

2Welcome to Super User! Ctrk+K / Ctrl+U is the usual yank/paste sequence, so if that didn't do what you were expecting I can understand your confusion and question! – bertieb – 2018-11-06T22:06:12.213

Check that the version of nano is recent. It looks like 2.0.6 is current. – DC Slagel – 2019-05-02T14:44:25.440

M-A (^6) or ALT+SHIFT+A (CTRL+SHIFT+6) Marks text starting from the cursor position

M-6 (M-^) or ALT+6 (ALT+SHIFT+6) Copies current line (or marked region) and stores it in the cutbuffer.
