Ctrl+V doesn't work in Pantheon Files

I don't understand how come I don't see anyone else complaining about this problem, is it only on my computer somehow, or is it a known removed feature?

But Ctrl+V to paste in Pantheon Files does not work to paste (neither a file nor a directory). I can tell that Ctrl+C for copying does work, because copying it with Ctrl+C, and then right-clicking to choose Paste does work. But hitting Ctrl+V does nothing. Regardless of the method used to copy.

  • Ctrl+V to paste into a file name when renaming (in Pantheon Files) works fine
  • Ctrl+V to paste into the path location (in Pantheon Files) works fine
  • Ctrl+Shift+V to paste in terminal works fine
  • Ctrl+V to paste works fine in all other programs (that I've tried so far).

How come, and are there any known suggestions to fix this?
