Answer 2

Not really programming related, but I found this on Google, there is not a direct keyboard shortcut, but makes it a little quicker.

To enable or disable QuickEdit mode:

1. Open the MS-DOS program, or the command prompt.
2. Right-click the title bar and press Properties.
3. Select the Options tab.
4. Check or un-check the QuickEdit Mode box.
5. Press OK.
6. In the Apply Properties To Shortcut dialog, select the Apply properties to current window only if you wish to change the QuickEdit setting for this session of this window only, or select Modify shortcut that started this window to change the QuickEdit setting for all future invocations of the command prompt, or MS-DOS program.

To Copy text when QuickEdit is enabled:

1. Click and drag the mouse pointer over the text you want.
2. Press Enter (or right-click anywhere in the window) to copy the text to the clipboard.

To Paste text when QuickEdit is enabled:

1. Right-click anywhere in the window.

To Copy text when QuickEdit is disabled:

1. Right-click the title bar, press Edit on the menu, and press Mark.
2. Drag the mouse over the text you want to copy.
3. Press Enter (or right-click anywhere in the window) to copy the text to the clipboard.

To Paste text when QuickEdit is disabled:

1. Right-click the title bar, press Edit on the menu, and press Paste.

On Windows 10, you can enable Ctrl + C and Ctrl + V to work in the command prompt:

Answer 4

I personally use a little AutoHotkey script to remap certain keyboard functions, for the console window (CMD) I use:

; Redefine only when the active window is a console window 
#IfWinActive ahk_class ConsoleWindowClass

; Close Command Window with Ctrl+w
$^w::
WinGetTitle sTitle
If (InStr(sTitle, "-")=0) { 
    Send EXIT{Enter}
} else {
    Send ^w
}

return 


; Ctrl+up / Down to scroll command window back and forward
^Up::
Send {WheelUp}
return

^Down::
Send {WheelDown}
return


; Paste in command window
^V::
; Spanish menu (Editar->Pegar, I suppose English version is the same, Edit->Paste)
Send !{Space}ep
return

#IfWinActive 

Answer 5

Pretty simple solution may be Console 2, redefine keys and you go.

Answer 6

Here's a free tool that will do it on Windows. I prefer it to a script as it's easy to set up. It runs as a fast native app, works on XP and up, has configuration settings that allow to remap copy/paste/selection keys for command windows:

Plus I know the developers.
