Answer 1

If you're on Windows you'll need to hit Control + Shift + V to paste in the console on the Nitrous.IO Web IDE.

That's very annoying. Is there some reason the normal CTRL/V can't be used? – Excruciate

This is only true in Chrome; it doesn't work in Firefox -- you have to use the Paste option in the menu bar. – Backtrack

press alt to see menu bar in FF – Inadvisable

Answer 2

The added support was mentioned on their changelog. In a nutshell:

• cmd+c and cmd+v support for copy and paste in mac
• ctrl+shift+v support to paste in chrome, paste using menu bar in firefox (Edit => Paste)

Answer 3

There is no Edit -> Paste in Firefox 35 on Windows 8.1 in the Web IDE, and, as always, control-V and control-shift-V do nothing.
