How do I copy from and paste into GLI on a Macintosh (why don't Apple-C and Apple-V work)?

On a Mac, copy and paste in GLI uses the Windows (and Linux) keys:

  • To copy some text from GLI for use elsewhere, use Ctrl-C
  • To paste something into GLI on a Macintosh use Ctrl-V

Examples:

  • If you're going to copy some text from another application you'd use Apple-C as usual, but to paste this in GLI you would use Ctrl-V.
  • For example: If you're going to copy some text from GLI, you'd select it and use Ctrl-C to place it in the copy buffer. To paste it in another application, you'd use the usual Apple-V.
  • To copy and paste within GLI itself, you'd use Ctrl-C to copy and Ctrl-V to paste.
