ctrl+v instead of right click in cmd prompt

[matthewk]

Is there a replacement or a way to paste in cmd by ctrl+v rather than right click (quickedit feature)? Thanks in advance...

Sup Matt... did some tinkering and found a feasable answer to your problem. Open the cmd prompt > click in the very top left of the window where it says C:\ > properties > check QuickEdit mode under Edit Options. Save it for future use. Now all you have to do is use ctrl + c anywhere in windows and copy something into memory and then in the command window click the right mouse button once and it'll auto paste what's in memory. Not ctrl + v, but easier then right click > paste. Hope this helps.

Best I can do man... you'll have to live with it. Unless theres something else out there.

Nope, you can only use quickedit or context menu as ringfinger said...

Customizable shell will be introduced with Vista family.

Thanks for the notes. I was looking for this, either a positive or negative 100% answer. I knew of quickedit is reason for quoting my post; I am not sure if ringfinger understood what I meant. Thanks everyone for your helps

I did a lil googling around for cmd prompt replacement. Haven't tried anything yet but the results seem very promising.

Edit:

Success!! 4Nt - this has ctrl+v for paste and sounds very advanced but isn't free.

Console: small and free, but no ctrl+v. However middleclick can be used for paste

Thanks alot for your findings. I'm looking into 4nt

Works great! I haven't researched to find the extra features it provides, but the ctrl+v is very nice to have. Consistency like that should exists in all apps
