Copy/paste keyboard shortcuts not working?

Is anyone else not able to copy or paste into Quicken using the standard keyboard shortcuts? Crtl+C & CTRL+V do nothing for me, even though it works on literally every other program on my computer. Copying and pasting from the menus within Quicken still works.

If you haven't already, I suggest you verify you have Windows standard chosen for the Keyboard mappings in the Setup preferences: select Edit > Preferences...

I just tried it and it worked fine. I did a copy from Notepad and a paste into the "Payee" field of one of my account registers. I used the keyboard shortcuts for both of these actions. I also tried the reverse (copy from Quicken and paste into Notepad) and that worked as well.0

@KnnNike what are you trying to copy and paste?
You can't copy and paste a transaction this way, you can only copy and paste fields with Ctrl+C/Ctrl+V.Signature:

Nope, understood. It's the fields that aren't working. I can neither copy nor paste into individual fields unless I use the copy/paste command from the top menu or the right click.Chris_QPW said:@KnnNike what are you trying to copy and paste?

Just a shot in the dark ...Are you running Quicken for Windows natively on a US Windows 10 or 8.1 PC?Or are you running Quicken for Windows in a virtual machine environment like Parallels on a Mac or Unix-variant?
In the latter case, the VM may need to be (re-)configured to correctly pass thru command keystrokes to the Windows guest system ...

I'm having the same problem. Just trying to paste text into a field. Let me know if you've figured it out.0

Do the keyboard shortcuts appear in the main Edit menu and are they enabled (not gray)?

Same issue here. My choices are gray-shaded (not active) and I've changed my settings to use Windows shortcuts rather than Quicken's. I'm a new subscriber using Home and Business with Windows 10 that was downloaded a few days ago. All help appreciated. Thank you.0

Thank you Sherlock. Setting the preferences did it! I've been fighting and complaining about that since my first Quicken, about 10 years ago... Thank you!1
