Keyboard shortcut to paste clipboard content into command prompt window (Win XP)

keyboard-shortcuts, windows

Solution

I personally use a little AutoHotkey script to remap certain keyboard functions, for the console window (CMD) I use:

; Redefine only when the active window is a console window 
#IfWinActive ahk_class ConsoleWindowClass

; Close Command Window with Ctrl+w
$^w::
WinGetTitle sTitle
If (InStr(sTitle, "-")=0) { 
    Send EXIT{Enter}
} else {
    Send ^w
}

return 


; Ctrl+up / Down to scroll command window back and forward
^Up::
Send {WheelUp}
return

^Down::
Send {WheelDown}
return


; Paste in command window
^V::
; Spanish menu (Editar->Pegar, I suppose English version is the same, Edit->Paste)
Send !{Space}ep
return

#IfWinActive

Problem

Is there a keyboard shortcut for pasting the content of the clipboard into a command prompt window on Windows XP (instead of using the right mouse button)? The typical Shift+Insert does not seem to work here.
