Cant Copy or Paste in the console

I don't see any options for Copying or Pasting in the Console. You can't even use Ctrl + C/V for it. Any fixes?

I have tried closing and re opening it.

Hi Sarker! I tested the ctrl+c/v options in the console in one of my Workspaces, and it worked. Can you please try the following to see if it helps?

If you are using Internet Explorer or Safari, please switch to Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox. If you're already using Chrome or Firefox and you are still experiencing this issue, please disable your plugins. You can do this temporarily by opening a new window up in Incognito Mode (Chrome) or Safe Mode (Firefox).

Hi Kara.

I tried the suggestions but it doesn't work still. I can't copy or paste anything in the console in the workshop. The Edit tab on the top also is missing them so I can't use that approach either.

I also tried right clicking as shown in one of the videos but the 2 options are missing.

Hi there, Sarker Jawad Islam! If you're using Windows, you should be able to right click the top-most bar on the workspace window and then choose "Paste". This only works from the very very top. I'm including a link to another post where I answered this a while ago which includes a screenshot of what I mean.

Hope this helps! :sparkles:
