If you paste text to the shell prompt (CMD+V on macOS), it always behaves as if TAB TAB was pressed and the shell asks a question about "Displaying all nnn possibilities?"

The text you pasted is ignored.

I have attached a screen shot of the behaviour.

How to reproduce the bug:

  1. select and copy (CMD+C) some text, such as: set | more
  2. switch to cool-retro-term with bash shell prompt
  3. paste (CMD+V) text to the command prompt
  4. the bash shell will respond with:
    Display all 149 possibilities? (y or n)

I am using cool-retro-term 1.1.1 on macOS 10.14.6.

The previous version of CRT (1.0?) did not have this issue.

It’s preventing me from using CRT because I can’t copy and paste from text files into the CRT terminal (or from the web, likewise).

I also see this. Pasting stuff with pipes gives weird printouts (sometimes CRT prints 'sv' for each paste, sometimes the above tab-expansion thing), and if I start CRT from a terminal, I see:
Command is pressed.
Command is pressed.
in the terminal output when using Command-V to paste.

@icepic That is exactly my experience as well
Cmd + Shift + C and Cmd + Shift + V works as a workaround for some reason. Is there a way to change the key bindings?

I got 'sv/sc' for pasting and copying (COMMAND-C and COMMAND-V respectively in macOS).

I too get bash completion when trying to paste with Cmd+V. Effectively renders this very cool app as unusable. Stuff like Ctrl+Space in Emacs doesn't work either. (Using latest version from Homebrew.)

Will this get fixed like, ever, or is the software abandoned?

From what @Swordfish90 has mentioned in the readme file, I think he prefers to work on issues posted here - https://www.bountysource.com/teams/crt/issues. Although, I see a bounty for $100 that hasn't received any response!
Should we create a bounty over there to fix the Command key issue?

Feel free. Such a cool project, that it's sad -- and surprising -- if it would wither away.

Thanks for sharing this, I am going to use it as my workaround. I haven't found an alternative to cool-retro-term.
