Keyboard cut and paste

Is it possible to bind clipboard stuff like copy, cut, and paste to the
keyboard?

Thanks

Gary

If you mean copying and pasting text in the PowerShell console, then
yes, it is possible. 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.

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

Check PowerShell+ from Shell Tools.
It's a true PowerShell console embedded in a rich and intuitive user interface
and is FREE for non-commercial use.

Extensions (PSCX), they have a few clipboard-related cmdlets. For example:

get-process | out-clipboard
