Save time in the Command Prompt


Typing out commands in the Command Prompt can get annoying and take a long time, especially if they’re complex. Luckily, Microsoft has updated the prompt to accept copy-and-pasted commands, making it far easier to input even long strings of text. 

To do this, simply open Command Prompt, right click on the top bar and select Properties. Then select Use legacy console, and click OK – doing so requires a relaunch. Once Command Prompt has reappeared, go to Properties again and select Enable Ctrl key shortcuts. 



Once you’ve done that, you can copy and paste by using the usual keys – Control+C to copy, and Control+V to paste.
