Keyboard shortcut to paste clipboard content into command prompt window (Win XP) [closed]


Yes.. but awkward. Link

alt + Space, e, k <-- for copy and
alt + Space, e, p <-- for paste.


I personally use a little AutoHotkey script to remap certain keyboard functions, for the console window (CMD) I use:

; Redefine only when the active window is a console window #IfWinActive ahk_class ConsoleWindowClass; Close Command Window with Ctrl+w$^w::WinGetTitle sTitleIf (InStr(sTitle, "-")=0) {     Send EXIT{Enter}} else {    Send ^w}return ; Ctrl+up / Down to scroll command window back and forward^Up::Send {WheelUp}return^Down::Send {WheelDown}return; Paste in command window^V::; Spanish menu (Editar->Pegar, I suppose English version is the same, Edit->Paste)Send !{Space}epreturn#IfWinActive 


Not really programming related, but I found this on Google, there is not a direct keyboard shortcut, but makes it a little quicker.

To enable or disable QuickEdit mode:

  1. Open the MS-DOS program, or the command prompt.
  2. Right-click the title bar and press Properties.
  3. Select the Options tab.
  4. Check or un-check the QuickEdit Mode box.
  5. Press OK.
  6. In the Apply Properties To Shortcut dialog, select the Apply properties to current window only if you wish to change the QuickEdit setting for this session of this window only, or select Modify shortcut that started this window to change the QuickEdit setting for all future invocations of the command prompt, or MS-DOS program.
