How to use Ctrl + V?

0127

In most terminal emulators, Ctrl + V is used to insert a literal character or to paste text from the clipboard. Here's how to use it:

  1. Pasting Text:

    • If you have copied text to your clipboard, you can paste it into the terminal by pressing Ctrl + V. This will insert the copied text at the cursor's position.
  2. Inserting a Literal Character:

    • In some terminals, if you want to insert a special character (like a newline) without executing the command, you can press Ctrl + V followed by the character you want to insert. For example, pressing Ctrl + V and then Enter may insert a newline in some contexts.

Note that the behavior of Ctrl + V can vary depending on the terminal you are using. In some terminals, you might need to use Shift + Insert to paste instead.
