Ctrl+shift+v shortcut does not work

[yydx]

I use NoMachine 8.13.1 in both client and host.

client: Windows 11

Host: Debian 12 with kde-plasma

I want to use ctrl+shift+v as paste shortcut in terminal like “konsole”, but it does not work. Ctrl+shift+c works fine in NoMachine, and Ctrl+shift+v works fine in other remote desktop software.

When pressing ctrl+shift+v, the xev output is:

I have disabled all shortcut keys for NoMachine and also disabled ‘always show remote cursor pointer’

Hi, there is a Trouble Report open about a similar issue. Could you check whether the steps to reproduce reflect your case and whether the workarounds also apply?

https://kb.nomachine.com/TR03V11107

[yydx]

Sorry, it’s my fault. I tried again and it works.

[yydx]

Thank you for your reply. But it does not work. I’ve alraedy looked this link before. I use ctrl(left)+shift(left)+v to paste in terminal, and I also tried ctrl(right)+shift(right)+v or ctrl(left)+shift(right)+v or ctrl(right)+shift(left)+v, none of them works.

Changing focus as the link https://kb.nomachine.com/TR03V11107 said does not work either.

However, shift+insert works fine in terminal. So, I think the workaround may be using shift+insert to paste.

[Britgirl]

Do you mean the TR ‘s workaround does not help, or do you mean the keyboard is now working correctly?

[Britgirl]

Hi, could you please update to the latest 8.14 release and if you still have issues. If so, I suggest to open a new topic.
