Can't Paste Link - Microsoft Internet Explorer/Edge

I've tried various ways (including reading the other question thread for this video about pasting links) and nothing works for me on my laptop (Windows) using Microsoft's browser (Edge) or trying Internet Explorer.

To recap: I've tried Ubuntu short-cut commands, right clicking on the terminal, opening a new browser in Edge and copying-pasting the treehouse console url to get an actual session that shows the Edge's options, clearing browsing history, trying Internet Explorer vs. Edge, seeing if I could use Nano to access the clipboard (though I'm not overly familiar with Nano so maybe I missed something).

I guess I'll have to manually type it in. Anyway, if I'm missing something, please let me know! Thanks!, D.

You have to right-click on the window bar(the one that says Terminal - Google Chrome), then you will have the option to paste.

Thanks, Sander, but I was using Microsoft Edge... no worries, I just copied and pasted it into a blank Word document to see the link and then typed it in to Linux

Hmm i tried it in Edge, it seemingly decides randomly to let you paste things every blue moon by just right-clicking near the cursor($ or equivalent) in the console.

Weird... so it works for you? Well, there you go... thanks, Sander!
