Unable to paste into the command line in Windows

Question

I am attempting to past text intot the command line but ctl-v does not work, is there an easier way to do it besides right clicking and selecting paste?

Answer 1

You are correct, there is no native way to do a ctrl-v from within the command prompt window. However using autohotkey you can enable a hotkey to do the same function. After installing autohotkey, add a few new lines (provided below) to your existing script and you will be ctrl-v, ctrl-v ing away.

#IfWinActive ahk_class ConsoleWindowClass
^V::
SendInput {Raw}%clipboard%
return
#IfWinActive

Answer 2

I have been unable to find any other way other than right clicking and selecting past  to copy and paste to the command prompt window
