vscode: Cmd+V not working in QuickInput

• Relevant/affected Python packages and their versions: XXX

Expected behaviour

In a jupyter notebook the extension asks me to enter the url of an already running server. The input box should accept the pasted value

Actual behaviour

I can paste this value but nothing happens on Enter. The input box remains open, the pasted url still there and nothing happens. My only option is to hit Esc and close the input.

i would add the the standard cmd-vcommand to paste text doesn’t work in this input box. Right click and select ‘paste’ does work. Still Enter does not work so there is no way to confirm this choice

Thanks for reporting the issue @LeonardoGentile. I was unable to reproduce this on Windows, both ctrl+v worked and the extension asked me to reload after pressing enter, and then successfully connected to the server.

@DonJayamanne, @IanMatthewHuff, could you help me by trying to repro this on a mac?

Hitting Enter does work for me & I can hit cmd+v as well.

I’ve tried to restart multiple times and I can still reproduce it. I’m also unable to paste the url using standard cmd-v, I have to right click and select paste.

@LeonardoGentile, can you try pasting something inside Cmd-shift-p, and see if you can paste a string in that? We’re suspecting a problem out of the control of the Python extension.

@greazer I’m normally able to paste inside the command input.

Not sure if related but this also happens when editing a notebook.

1. I bring on the command input or the goto input
2. I close the input
3. I can’t edit / interact with the notebook using the keyboard unless I click on something on the notebook

The same happen the other way, that is, when I close the command input I can’t reopen it anymore with keyboard shortcut unless I first click on something on the notebook. This behavior never happened with other kind of files.

So probably something similar is happening related to my initial problem, that is, when running a notebook, somehow the focus is stolen by something inside the notebook

Is there anything else I can do to deubg this?

Hey @LeonardoGentile, we think the cmd+v is either a vscode issue or its somehow related to your computer. To make sure I’d try to test that on vscode insiders, or try reinstalling vscode.

As for the url not entering, I just noticed that what you’re showing on your image is our default url. Could you share the url you’re trying to input? (you can omit part of the token if you want)
