Ctrl+V does not work in IntelliJ

Question

A while ago, Ctrl + V stopped working in Intellij IDEA. Neither the shortcut nor Edit > Paste works. It's really weird, since "Paste Simple" still works fine, so does Ctrl + C and Ctrl + X .

I've seen a lot of suggestions to solve this problem, but most of them are somehow related to the Vim Emulator for IntelliJ, which I don't use. I tried to play around with the Keymap, but could not get it to work.

I'm using Intellij 2017.2.5 on Windows 10. Maybe I screwed it up myself somehow, but I wish to fix it, because it's really painful to work without Ctrl + V .

Answer 1

You can try alternatives:

Ctrl + Shift + V for Windows or Linux

or

You might try Ctrl+INS for copy and Shift+INS for paste and see if they work. They are the traditional cut and paste and have been around a lot longer than Ctrl+c/Ctrl+v

Answer 2

My OS is Ubuntu 18.04, and i had this problem before. An effective solution for my IDE is to set the Keymap to Default, which is file>setting>Keymap.
