Description of problem:
I'm not able to paste with the "shift-insert" shortcut with gnome-terminal. All
other terminal (xterm, rxvt, gnome-terminal from gnome1..) have this shortcut..

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. gnome-terminal &
2. select something with the mouse
3. try to paste it with "shift-insert"
	

Actual Results:  the shortcut only print "~".

Expected Results:  The mouse-selection should be pasted.

You could always just change the default paste binding to Shift+Insert instead
of Control+Shift+v ...
Comment 2 Daniel Resare 2002-08-22 10:17:13 UTC 
The 'edit' -> 'paste' shortcut can not be used, since it is another 'paste' than
the one in rxvt/xterm/gnome-terminal-1. That one works on selections (like an
alias to mouse-button-3) not on the clipboard as the menu item works.

Comment 3 Nalin Dahyabhai 2002-08-28 01:57:05 UTC 
This should be fixed in vte-0.8.4 and later -- unless bound to another action in
gnome-terminal, Shift+Insert will paste the contents of the PRIMARY clipboard,
the same way that xterm, kterm, and hanterm do.
Comment 4 Owen Taylor 2002-08-28 14:47:01 UTC 
Aaargh. Shift-insert is the CUA binding for Paste; if it is 
bound to anything by default, it needs to be bound to 
Paste CLIPBOARD. Making it possible for the user to
bind a "paste primary" in gnome-terminal would be a fine
addition. Binding shift-insert to paste-primary by default
is simply wrong.
Comment 5 Nalin Dahyabhai 2002-08-28 19:10:15 UTC 
If we want shift+insert to paste PRIMARY (even by default), it can be overridden
in gnome-terminal's key bindings.
Comment 6 Nalin Dahyabhai 2002-08-28 19:12:49 UTC 
Double-aaargh.  I meant "If we want it to paste CLIPBOARD", it can be overridden
at the gnome-terminal level with a keybinding.
