Keyboard shortcut to paste in Windows command prompt

Question

Is there a keyboard shortcut to paste in the Windows command prompt (or at least powershell)?

I'm aware that you can right click, but it would be handy if it was possible without touching the mouse.

Answer 1

Finally in Windows 10:

Unfortunately Microsoft resists to add SHIFT+INSERT ((

Answer 2

Press Alt+Space followed by E and finally P

This will open the alt Menu > Edit > Paste

Answer 3

Checkout this Stackoverflow article. They provide an AutoHotKey script. If you aren't familiar with AutoHotKey you should be. It is a free application that allows you to automate a ton of things on Windows. I use it for a number of tasks. You can even compile the scripts and then just run the executable. Great for distribution to less tech savvy folks or for running off a thumb drive for portability.

They also mention this:

ALT+SPACE+E+K <-- for copy

ALT+SPACE+E+P <-- for paste

Answer 4

Ctrl+Insert for copy Shift+Insert for paste

I am using Powershell in console2.

Answer 5

Closed on stackoverflow, but AutoHotKey works perfectly:

; Paste into CMD window using CTRL+SHIFT+INSERT
^+Insert::
  WinGetClass, sClass, A
  If (sClass = "ConsoleWindowClass")
  {
    send {alt down}{space}{alt up}ep
  }
  return

Answer 6

You can use PowerShell inside ConEmu, which lets you use ctrl-v.

Ctrl-v also works in the PowerShell ISE.
