Change insert copied text from Shift Ctrl V to Shift Insert

  • 772

In most cases, shift insert works when you want to insert copied text.

But in a terminal, it uses Shift Ctrl v.

Any way to change that behaviour to Shift Insert?

    Your terminal may have a settings or preferences option. You maybe able to specify Shift+Ins there.

    Lubuntu 18.04 has lxterminal as its default terminal. Click Edit > Preferences > Shortcuts. Then, click on the area next to Paste which should have the current keyboard shortcut for pasting, and press Shift and Insert simultaneously. The contents should change to reflect your choice. Press OK. That's all.

    Similarly, Konsole (in Kubuntu 18.04) has Shift+Ins as an alternative to Ctrl+Shift+V out of the box.
