Why can I NOT paste text in 3D-text?

[mediumaevum]

I am trying to paste a simple text into my 3D-text. I can’t. I copy (CTRL+C) a text from Notepad, and when I hit CTRL+V in Blender’s Text-object in Edit mode (where I write the text) it does NOT paste the text.

Why does it not work, and what can I do to make it work??!??

I don’t know why it doesn’t use Ctrl V but you have to do it from the edit menu at the bottom of the 3D view. Look for Edit > Paste Clipboard

You can edit text in Text Editor window; menu Edit has an option TextTo3DObject-> OneObject and OneObjectPerLine

Thank you.

You could always add it through the Python terminal…? It’s true CTRL + V doesn’t work, but it’s for good reason. If you have the keys assigned to something then while editing you’d break the operation.

But Ctrl V works elsewhere in Blender, why not the text entry for the text object edit mode. I just don’t understand how its different to other modes?
