If you try that, what > does it do? yes. it works. thanks. i guess the reason ctrl+shift+v, or ctrl+v, work is because of fish's (shell) magic. but when ssh runs, it's no longer fish's business to do its magic as i'm pasting into ssh's stdin (not fish's), which is when only urxvt's magic applies.

I use urxvt and I've always done Ctrl+Alt+V for paste. If you try that, what does it do? Alec

What happens if you paste the password, ignore, that "nothing" happens and then press ? Cheers! Meino
