CtrlV to paste-in data into GitBash?

Question

Simple goal:

Using GitBash for Windows, I would like to be able to paste my clipboard into gitbash Via CTRL+V.

Problem:

Every tutorial I can find says:

1. Right-click on the Git Bash icon and select Properties. Under the

2. Options tab, select QuickEdit Mode and click OK.

3. Restart Git Bash and try pasting again using the right-click menu or Ctrl+V.

In fact, this has some paste shortcuts (middle mouse; CTRL+SHIFT+INSERT. But I don't like those!

Obviously this doesn't work (I'm here).

What I've tried:

Poking around like a child with a stick in a puddle.

AHK script (not working as a workaround):

;ahk v1
SingleInstance, Force
^+v:: ;Ctrl+Shift+V.
SendInput %Clipboard% ;Sends the clipboard at keystroke speed.
return ;Exits the hotkey.

It would probably be more effective in AHK to do something like assign MiddleMouse, which I think would require the keyboard hook, or to have ctrl+v send shift+insert if that really works, like this:

;ahk v1.
#SingleInstance, Force
^v::+{ins}

Answer 1

Respectfully, just use shift+ins unless you have a very important reason not to: you should be using your apps with default settings to the extent that you can because it allows you to work on other devices.

To change that to ctrl+v you probably would need to do a custom build: I also tested bash.rc and could not get ctrl+v to work.
