I am used to copy and pasting into the terminal and out using Ctrl+Shift+V to paste. But on raring, this key command seems to not work? Ctrl+Shift+C does copy though.
How can I fix the terminal to have the old key bindings?

I've just tested this on my 13.04 machine. It works as expected.– Warren HillJul 11, 2013 at 14:40

I always use <kbd>Shift</kbd>+<kbd>Insert</kbd> for pasting in a terminal.– autobottodoggoJul 11, 2013 at 15:39

Are you sure you don't have a different keybinding conflicting with this one?– SethJul 11, 2013 at 15:48

It works fine when im going from the terminal to the terminal, but fails when I copy something from outside the terminal and try to past it into the terminal.– j0hJul 11, 2013 at 16:16

I checked the key bindings too. @Seth. Its one of those things where i can get around it, but its obnoxious too. So today, I encountered it and posted. Are there and left / right specifications to key bindings? I use left shift and left control to do these commands.– j0hJul 11, 2013 at 19:48

I hope this helps
I had a similar problem in 15.04. Solved it by:
- Open a terminal
- Click
Editin the menu bar - Click
Preferences - Click
Keyboard shortcuts - Check "
Enable keyboard shortcuts"
Now shortcuts Ctrl+Shift+C and Ctrl+Shift+V work as before.
I had the same issue in Ubuntu 20.04.5. I was able to get it to work by using "Ctrl" + "Shift" + "V to" paste and then right-clicking on the line in the terminal with my mouse.
I have the same problem on some terminals (when the keyboard language is different from system language).
On these terminals I have verified that Ctrl+Shift+V pastes the contents of the clipboard if I lift my finger from the Shift key (while holding down the other two keys). The procedure for copying is similar.
It's strange and not very functional but it works.
