CTRL+SHIFT+V not working from another tab.

Question

Hi,

As the subject suggest, I'm unable to get CTRL+SHIFT+V to work when copying from a different tab when using Microsoft Edge. The function works within the same tab, but that is of no use to me. It works as it should with Google Chrome and Firefox on the same computer. And I have the same problem with Edge on several different computers, both private and business related.

Is there any way to fix this issue in Edge?

Answer 1

No I cannot Ctrl + Shift + V in my Google Sheets cell. Everything is ok on Chrome, in the same cell.

Answer 2

It has been reinstalled, but I still have the same problem. Also, I do not think the same issue would occur on this many different computers/users if the issue was anywhere other than Edge. I am really just wondering if it is some way to make Edge work properly, or if I should just uninstall Edge all together. As previously stated, this problem do not occur with any other browser. This problem DO however occur on all 7 different computers/users we have tried this with Edge.

Hello Ole_DB,

It's been a while since the last post, but I wanted to follow up on this thread. There have been several version updates since this was opened. Are you still unable to use Ctrl+Shift+V to paste text from another tab?

Hi Sumit,

Yes, it show up in the clip board. It also works to just "CTRL+V", but then I have to change the format manually afterwards, as it is different formats in the sheet I'm copying from to the sheet I'm pasting it into.

I have this problem on all 7 different computers I have tried so far (2 private computers, 5 work computers). It is only Edge that have this problem.

Hi Ole,

I was unable to repro this problem - If you press Win+V do you see the copied text in the clipboard?
