Unable to cut from text edit and paste into terminal

copy/pasteterminaltext-editor

Up until a day ago, I was able to cut and paste commands into terminal from text edit. This is a ongoing function as I store regularly used bash commands in text files so I can cut and paste them without needing to type them.

As of today, I can cut from text and paste to text, I can copy from terminal and paste into terminal. But I am unable to paste from text to terminal…

Where to even start figuring this out?

Well, I never thought I would see the day.

Restarting a mac to solve a problem... this is reminiscent of when I used to use Microsoft products...

Mac – Configure emacs to cut and copy text to Mac OS X clipboard

To copy the current region to the OS X clipboard, you can use

(shell-command-on-region (region-beginning) (region-end) "pbcopy")

The inverse, copying the OS X paste buffer to the Emacs kill ring, is not recommended. Kill rings and clipboards are very different structures and there's no good answer to what, exactly, pushing a clipboard into a kill ring should do. Still, you can run pbpaste manually to get the current clipboard contents.

MacOS – Umlauts and Copy and paste

If having such characters in decomposed form (represented by two codepoints, base character plus combining accent mark) is a problem for further processing you need to do, then you can use an app like Unicode Checker to convert the text to Unicode Normalization Form C. That will change them into the composed, single-codepoint form.
