Paste not working in script editor

Paste is not working properly in the text editor. I tried changing it to VIM but I can't get the commands to work either. I am using this at work and can't install any editors onto my machine so I have to use the Python Anywhere editor.

Hi there,

Can you tell us more about what browser and os so we can try to repro?

Windows 7 64-bit SP1 with Internet Explorer, but I can't determine the version of IE.

Maybe Ctrl+Shift+v is your solution...Have you tried?

I have tried on windows 7 ie 11 and can use both right click and ctrl+v to paste. perhaps you are blocking some parts of the javascript?

Wait. You mentioned that you changed the keyboard shortcuts to vim bindings. Are you aware that vim has different modes? If you are not in insert mode then you may not be able to paste anything.

It looks like javascript is blocked. I was not using vim correctly, it does work. Thanks!
