I think there currently is no way to paste in to KODI. I too find I need it every now and then.

I've seen this discussed before somewhere before; I think there was some reason it was seen as "not needed" by some developers.

thank you for your answer
we have just to write in it, just hope the text and url will be short

Not that I do much in the gui - as little as I can - but in windows you can use ctrl-v to paste into the onscreen keyboard. No idea on other os's.

5 years on and still no Copy/Paste on Kodi!  [or 9 years on, if you count this thread from 2013]!

To add to previously given reasons: ever tried manually pasting a long API key [as used by several of the Add-Ons] in, without Copy/Paste and using Kodi's Mickey Mouse on-screen keyboard?

Such fun!

I can paste text into a Kodi text field just fine. What's your add-on's problem?

@Funter Not the best way to introduce yourself to the community is it? Kodi is free software made available by a non-profit foundation and created by volunteers in the spare time for free. Although we do love to receive feedback it is always best received in a constructive and professional manner. You may think our keyboard is "Mickey Mouse" but we don't have Disney resources here

As you may have realised by now you can of course copy and paste into Kodi, how you do it depends on the platform you are using. Pretty easy on desktop systems with a mouse and keyboard. On 10ft interfaces such as an Android TV box you can of course use a companion app on your phone such as the official "Kodi Remote" on both Android and iOS. Works for me.

Living under a rock ?   We have been copying and pasting in kodi for decades.
On a keyboard  :
control C to copy and control V to paste.

For windows users the obvious answer is control C to copy and control V to paste and putting Kodi into resizable windowed mode to effect cut & paste. Making this a global feature across muti operating systems might be a task too much, but love to hear users thinking of Kodi as the o/s.

Hi!
It seems that copy and paste is no longer possible on kodi nexus 20.1 I use Yatse and Kore but it is not possible to paste a url in the file manager. Android 9.0

no longer possible on kodi nexus 20.1

Can't replicate, works fine for me.
