Paste doesn’t seem to work in Site Settings \> Code \> Prefix. It just puts up a box with Paste in it as shown in the image below. I was trying to paste in some PHP code which I was able to paste into an editor OK but wouldn’t paste in Elements. ![site_settings_code_prefix_paste](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/9/a/9adbc07db0d22326b25ca7b3dfa1cc6308f605ef.jpeg) ---

Ah yes, we can reproduce that issue here. We’ll get it fixed. Weirdly if you click the second “Paste” that appears, it’ll paste the text in 🤪 In the meantime, a better solution is to press “command-v” to paste in your code. ---

The double-paste works for me but not cmd-V - I get a warning sound. ---

Just discovered that the same applies to the HTML Custom Component \> Template when pasting code. The double paste works but CMD-V doesn’t. ---

This issue is still present (i.e. not fixed) in beta version 22880. Is the fix working its way to the top of the fix list? Just wondering. 🙂 ---

_bump_ Just in case it dropped down the list? 😉 Apart from the double-paste, CMD-V doesn’t work but CMD-C does. It definitely slows down Custom Component editing, not having this fixed. ☹ ---

I’ve just tested this and the keyboard shortcuts; command-c and command-v seems to work perfectly in all the code areas 🤔 ---

This is the Elements (b15) menu: ![CleanShot 2024-10-07 at 10.27.20](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/6/b/6b4b159d9a8648cbe4f9c7df788a8e80241096c7.png) There is no keyboard shortcut shown against Paste? I have noticed CMD-V is against Paste and Match Style? I can’t see anything in my Mac’s settings that is modifying the Keyboard shortcuts but I guess there could be. I am using a Logitech MX Master keyboard The Paste as Plain Text keyboard shortcut does work. ---

Update: I have found where it is modified on my system in Settings \> Keyboard \> Keyboard Shortcuts. I will have take a look at that to see if I can sort it out. ---

OK, tracked it down and added in a special setting for the RapidWeaver Elements App: ![CleanShot 2024-10-07 at 11.55.05](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/4/6/46a17314bf5e4b2ec5597b16ee8dccb25324ae50.png) I had obviously set **CMD-V** to **Paste and Match Style** sometime ago. Maybe, Elements should handle **Paste and Match Style** as **Paste**? Anyway, @dan thanks for testing it out and prompting me to investigate further. I did wonder why no one else was raising this as an issue. 😉 ---

Ah, thanks for digging into this! 😅
