Why isn't copy-paste working in REPL console?

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.

Not apparently visible Brendan. However, in order to paste the copied text, I had to right-click on Chrome's window header bar (The one that says "Treehouse Workspaces - Google Chrome") and select the paste option from the menu. The copy option is there too.

Hi.

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 .

I 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.

Hi.

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.

Is there an Edit menu at all in Chrome in Windows?
