On Windows and Linux plain Ctrl V also pastes at a shell prompt. Inside a full-screen application — vim, less, tmux — it is passed through as the key, so it means what the application says it means (blockwise Visual mode in vim); paste there with Ctrl ⇧ V or ⇧ Insert. That convenience is the Paste (outside full-screen apps) binding, and it is yours to move. Clearing it hands Ctrl V to the shell everywhere, including readline’s quoted-insert:

{ "keybindings": { "AlternatePaste": "" } }

Putting Paste itself on the chord goes the other way, pasting on every screen the way Windows Terminal does out of the box:

{ "keybindings": { "PasteText": "ctrl-v" } }

Every Ctrl chord that stands for a control code reaches the program you are running: Ctrl 6 and Ctrl ⇧ 6 are ^^ (vim’s alternate file), Ctrl / and Ctrl ⇧ − are ^_ (readline’s undo), Ctrl 3 is Escape. The plain Ctrl chords tty7 keeps are the ones that stand for nothing: Ctrl ⇥ for the next tab, and on Windows and Linux Ctrl + · Ctrl − · Ctrl 0 for the font size.

Rebinding syntax

{
  "keybindings": {
    "ResizePaneLeft": "ctrl-alt-left",
    "ToggleSftp": "secondary-shift-u",
    "ScmSync": "ctrl-b s"
  }
}

secondary means ⌘ on macOS and Ctrl elsewhere. A space separates the steps of a chord. More →
