How can I paste from the clipboard?

Google cloud shell isn't letting me 'paste' what is in my clipboard.

I have tried using the 'send command' ctrl+v option, as well as tried with root.

I found it works with IE! Gives a message to allow clipboard access to the page (but a one time thing).

What am I missing?

Turns out this is not Chrome but my system settings. I tried on a different system and it worked!

How do I find copied to clipboard?

To do so, tap Turn on clipboard. With the clipboard on, any time you copy something to the clipboard and then tap the clipboard on the Google Android keyboard again, you'll see a history of all recent items you've added. To delete any of these items from the clipboard, first tap the edit icon.

Why can't I paste from my clipboard?

If you're not able to use keyboard shortcuts for copy-paste, try selecting the file/text using your mouse, then select Copy and Paste from the menu. If this works, it means that your keyboard is the problem. Make sure your keyboard is turned on/properly connected and that you're using the right shortcuts.

For me, it does not work on Firefox version 60.2 on Linux (openSuSE Leap 15). But it works on Chromium 69.0.3497.100 (open SUSE Build) 64 bits. I believe it will also work with Google Chrome.

Very important!!! Ctrl + v does not work! You must use Ctrl + Shift + v to paste to Google Cloud Shell using Chromium.

Note 1: Ctrl + Shift + v did not work for me in Firefox

Note 2: I found a config option on top left of cloud shell frame, in the shape of a tool. There you can select Terminal Preferences > Copy configuration and will be an option to select Copy and Paste with Ctrl+Shift+C/V. Try enabling it if Ctrl + Shift + v does not work for you.

Note 3: Shift + Insert works for me on Chromium, but not on Firefox.

In Firefox with this enabled or disabled copy and paste does not work. On Chromium it worked with this option enabled and disabled.
