Hit Alt+Space to bring up the console menu, then type 'E' to bring up the 'Edit' menu and then 'k' to start copying or 'P' to paste the text in the clipboard to the console. In 'copying' mode, you just use the arrow keys while holding down the shift key to select text, and hit Enter to add the selection to the clipboard. I use the keyboard to paste text in the console all the time; I have even started using the Alt+Space,E,P key sequence in other applications, sometimes with unhappy results. The method to select text in the console is really only convenient if you just don't have a mouse; I rarely use it. All of this behavior is identical in the regular cmd.exe console. If this doesn't answer your question at all, I'm sorry. Jeff |

| | Re: Keyboard cut and paste Thanks for answering back. What I'm really looking for is more of a Ctrl+V, Ctrl+X sort of thing 4NT the command shell from JP Software can do a Ctrl+V. I was sort of hoping to get better scripting and command line editing "Jeff" <jeff.hillman@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:80cc18c2-bdcc-493e-98d0-dbd43fb9b25a@xxxxxx Quote: > On Jan 19, 7:08 am, "Gary Ash" <gary_...@xxxxxx> wrote: Quote: >> Is it possible to bind clipboard stuff like copy, cut, and paste to the >> keyboard? >> >> Thanks >> >> Gary > Gary, > > If you mean copying and pasting text in the PowerShell console, then > yes, it is possible.

It's a true PowerShell console embedded in a rich and intuitive user interface and is FREE for non-commercial use. http://www.powershell.com/plus/index.html ----- Shay Levi $cript Fanatic http://scriptolog.blogspot.com Quote: > Thanks for answering back.

Extensions (PSCX), they have a few clipboard-related cmdlets. For example: get-process | out-clipboard http://www.codeplex.com/PowerShellCX -- Hal Rottenberg Blog: http://halr9000.com Webmaster, Psi (http://psi-im.org) Co-host, PowerScripting Podcast (http://powerscripting.net) |

| | Re: Keyboard cut and paste Is this some sort of fetish? Why cant Microsoft use simple cut and paste shortcuts for consoles? It's been 20 years now and still you have to use some non-standard method for only the console, every other app on Windows allows for Ctl-X,C,V for Cut/Copy/Paste. |
