I just received my phone, including a sheet of paper with instruction to enter a very long command in terminal, starting with wget and a long url. The problem is, I can't figure out how to paste from the clipboard in terminal without a physical keyboard. I see buttons for ctrl and alt, but they don't seem to work with shortcuts. I tap ctrl and then v, for instance, and nothing happens. Typing the whole command with a virtual keyboard would take a very long time with great likelihood of errors. The instruction sheet that came with the phone says the fix takes about two minutes, so there must be an easier method than what I see, mustn't there?
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
James

@jriemerm I found this quite disturbing as well and did make it known, but I did not post it here as I thought that maybe I was mistaken and had missed something. There is indeed a potential workaround for the issue if one wants to attempt it. I placed an OTG adapter in the USB-c and then a WiFi dongle for a Logitech Wireless keyboard. Taking a grabbed area of text and then copying it into the clipboard one then uses the Wireless keyboard entry of Ctl-V as is the common usage and you actually can manage a very awkward pasting from the clipboard into the terminal (or 'console' as is occasionally the usage).
I do not see this as by any means a suitable answer, but it can in fact be utilized if there is already a OTG adapter and a WiFi keyboard setup available. Even more awkward would be the original wired keyboard used with the OTG which is even more messy, but perhaps saves the expense of a WiFi keyboard if one simply has the old school wired USB keyboard on hand. Should there be the need for such a workaround? By no means. It will probably work for you as it has for me. They need to see whether the Droidian update to Furi OS can accommodate a paste option in the terminal. That is clearly needed for most users!
Hi all!
You have three options to paste in terminal:
Use the Menu button (this is available in both phosh-osk-stub and in squeekboard). Menu button pops up selection with "Copy, Paste, Select All" and all the options work in terminal.
Use ctrl+shift+v or ctrl+shift+c (this option is only available in phosh-osk-stub but it should be there by default and it just works)
Use wl-paste from wl-clipboard packages. Example in /scripts/short-press here:

Hi there basically is no way in Console. However, I have been using "Black Box" flatpak app which allows easy copy / paste in settings, and you can paste commands into the terminal. It doesn't easily allow selection and copy of text from within the terminal but for that I use $ "some command" >> ~./output.txt
