What machine (OS)? How did you install Python? How are you running it?
The instructions say to highlight some text and press enter to copy text.
What instructions? This is not standard, at least not on Windows.
You are supposed to just right click with the mouse to paste text.
What happens when you right click depends on the program you are interacting with. When you select and right-click in the current Windows 10 console, used for Command Prompt, PowerShell, Python, and other programs, the selection disappears. I just discovered that it also copies to the clipboard. I also just discovered that right click without a selection pastes the current clipboard contents. (I usually use ^X, ^C, and ^V.) Since the console is in the process of being improved, I have no idea how long this has been true.
IDLE's editor-based windows have a context menu with Cut, Copy, and Paste.
I use a very useful program called Clipmate that captures from the clipboard and keeps a list of clipboard captures and I can menu pick what I want to paste from the clipboard.
If I understand, Clipmate is supposed to get a signal when the clipboard changes to it can grab (copy) the new text and add it to its clipboard history list.
This doesn't not seem to be working as nothing happens when I try to select text and right click in the command window with the mouse.
As before, what OS and commmand window? And at least for Windows, version?
Ctrl V doesn't work either. Is this a bug? Is there a workaround?
