On: Microsoft Announces Windows 10

Absence of ctrl+v in the terminal was one of the most simple and obvious clous that Microsoft didn't give a .... about developers. Absurd ad infinitum that it took this long.

maybe because serious Windows developers shouldn't be using command prompt?

Powershell and Powershell ISE is available for almost a decade now?

Powershell can't handle ctrl+v either. It puts in a ^V character. You can paste with a right click in Powershell, but no ctrl+v.

Not out of the box, but ctrl+v works with https://github.com/lzybkr/PSReadLine

"Powershell ISE" does

ISE isn't really a terminal emulator though. It's an IDE.

[visionscaper → vmarsy]

Why would I need an additional shell app to be able to simply use ctrl+v? For instance, on OS X I use the default terminal shipped with the OS, it does everything I need for a terminal application. Is a pasting functionality consistent with the rest of the OS too much to ask for a default shell?

[vmarsy → visionscaper]

That's a fair point. powershell ships by default though, it should be the default instead of cmd.exe
