I was doing the "Splitting Strings" video workspace, I tried to create a new Treet object with the tweet Craig used in the lecture. But the copy-paste doesn't seem to work in the REPL console. Is it something specific to Mac only?
I've tried Chrome and Firefox on Windows, no paste appears on the right click. Also, Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V doesn't work too.

It could be that the workspaces are in a Linux enviroment - and paste in Linux -> Ctrl + Shift + V .
Try that. But copy normally with Command + C .

Front End Web Development Techdegree Graduate 84,738 PointsI had the same problem. For some reason if I use the Ctrl+V shortcut it doesn't work, but if I go up to the Edit menu and choose the Paste option the old fashioned way, it works.

Python Web Development Techdegree Student 2,812 PointsHi.
I'm using Windows and Google Chrome.
I don't have a "Paste" option in a context menu or in Edit menu.
It doesn't work with "Ctrl + V" or "CTRL + Shift + V" or "any other keys + V".
Help please.
