  • I douby you're using Windows, but some kind of unix emulator. It's very likely that simply highlighting text will copy it to the clipboard. – ikegami Jun 07 '17 at 14:57

    @ikegami Git Bash is a software package for Windows that includes Git, Bash and a lot of Linux tools ported on Windows. All these run on top of [Cygwin](http://cygwin.org). – axiac Jun 07 '17 at 15:10
  • @axiac, Thanks for confirming what I said. Cygwin is a unix emulation layer. – ikegami Jun 07 '17 at 15:34

    @Kent, QuickEdit mode is a setting for the Windows Console. With QuickEdit mode on, you can select text to copy without first right-clicking and selecting Mark. – ikegami Jun 07 '17 at 15:45

You're not using the Windows Console; you're using a terminal built for cygwin, a unix emulation environment. The usual default behaviour for unix terminals is to place text in the clipboard as soon as you select it. You don't need to press Ctrl-C or any other key.

(I don't have your terminal, so I can't verify that this will help, but there's a very good chance that this will address your issue.)

You can just select/highlight the text and it will automatically be placed on clipboard. then you can Past it using mouse Right Click and Clicking Past or pressing Shift+Insert from keyboard on Windows machines.

QuickEdit Mode was available in Git 1.x, but your screenshot is from Git 2.x

You can use Ctrl+Shift+c for copy as shown here.

You can also use your mouse as shown here.

Also, note that starting from Windows 10 the Ctrl+c, Ctrl+v can be used for copy/paste as mentioned here.

  • Your link about using Windows 10 Ctrl+c says to turn Quick Edit mode on, which doesn't answer the question -- WHERE IS QUICK EDIT MODE IN 2.x? – vannorman Jul 16 '19 at 16:56
  • There may be a workaround that I haven't tried because I don't have Windows 10. During GIT Installation, you can choose the option "Use Git from the Windows Command Prompt" as shown [here](https://www.siteground.com/tutorials/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/318.jpg). Then, you can enable QuickEdit Mode in cmd.exe as shown [here](https://www.isunshare.com/images/article/windows-8/quick-edit-mode-in-command-prompt-how-to-open-it/choose-quick-edit-mode-and-tap-ok.png). Please, tell me if it worked. – Hasan El-Hefnawy Jul 17 '19 at 17:46
