如何使用Emacs仿真扩展将另一个应用程序中的文本粘贴到Visual Studio中？

Question

After copying text from another program, when I switch to Visual Studio with the Emacs Emulation extension and try to paste the text, none of the following methods work:

• Ctrl-Y (Emacs emulation extension keybinding for 'yank' [paste])
• Clicking paste on the toolbar
• Edit > Paste
• Right click > paste

How can I paste text from an outside application into a copy of Visual Studio that is running the Emacs Emulation extension ?

Answer 1

As above - Ctrl - Shift - Ins ( Edit.CycleClipboardRing ) does work for this (at least it does for me having got the emacs add-in to load in VS2012,) so you can then go into Tools->Options, select Environment->Keyboard, and remove the Ctrl - Y shortcut, then assign Ctrl - Y to Edit.CycleClipboardRing .

Repeating Ctrl - Y does cycle the clipboard ring, which is a side-effect I can live with... I guess if you reassign Alt - Y to be the same command then generally this will do what you expect.

Answer 2

Ctrl-Shift-Ins ( Edit.CycleClipboardRing ) will paste the contents of the Windows clipboard into Visual Studio.

As far as the other, more standard methods not working, this is a known bug in the Emacs Emulation extension. From the extension's Visual Studio Gallery page :

Cut/copy/paste from other applications into Visual Studio does not work with the Emacs extension installed. We're working on a fix for this issue and will post an updated version of the extension when a fix is available.
