Make sure your pasted text did not show up in your TERMINAL - even if it is not in focus or even if your cursor is in another Panel tab or in the EDITOR. Hold down the power button for 15 sec while booth power sources are removed. I ultimately discovered, when I changed my Panel focus back to my PowerShell TERMINAL tab, that ALL of the Ctrl-V pasting I had attempted had shown up after my PowerShell prompt! Ctrl-V was not pasting the code I had just Cut or Copied (but right-clicking and choosing Paste was working). My Ctrl-V issue was when I was trying to correct my Apex code in the EDITOR pane. The deployment had errors, so in the Panel area (which I have at the bottom of my screen) I had clicked on both the OUTPUT and PROBLEMS tabs, which shifted focus away from my PowerShell TERMINAL tab. I have the Salesforce Extension Pack installed and had right-clicked on a file and run SFDX: Deploy Source to Org. For future searchers who do not have Vim (or any other extension) installed which is causing the issue, and who might have verified that their keyboard bindings are correct.
