Hello. I am using Linux Ubuntu ( I think it's the newest version). I need to paste large amount of stuff in the command thing( when you run a c++ code (press F9) it opens); CTRL + V doenst work. Neither does when I click up right, on windows it opens edit-->paste.
Thank You!

Shift + Ctrl + V works on most terminal emulators.

Hi,

There are a bunch of tricks, one can do in xterm and in any shell.

Use the up arrow to cycle through previous commands.

If your history is set up, you can do ! followed by the first a few chars of a previous command. For example !ls does the last ls cmd. !g++ does the last g++ . If you know the number of the command (can have this set up as part of your prompt) then !153 will do number 153 cmd.

I know it seems a bit cryptic (& long), but have a go at reading the sh man page.

Hope all goes well :+)
