I am 55% into the Command Line course on Codecademy but, I can't type "|". I'm trying to do
cat volcanoes.txt | wc
And the | doesn't show and when I try to copy+paste it in only shows a ^V instead of the |. Please help

Can you type it using the key on your keyboard (right above enter)? – ryanpcmcquen Sep 05 '15 at 19:27

Also try `Ctrl` + `Shift` + `C/V`. – ryanpcmcquen Sep 05 '15 at 19:30

Where are you copying and pasting from? – ryanpcmcquen Sep 06 '15 at 21:30

I have tried copy pasting from the search bar, websites, documents and anywhere else I can type it in basically. – Rex Stellar Sep 07 '15 at 15:57

In most terminals you use `Ctrl` + `Shift` + `V` to paste. – ryanpcmcquen Sep 07 '15 at 16:01

Nope, but do you think there is a way to change key bindings on Windows 7? – Rex Stellar Sep 07 '15 at 16:06

I am able to type the `|` (pipe character) just using my keyboard. I don't think copying/pasting is supported in the command line course. Do you not have that key on your keyboard? – ryanpcmcquen Sep 07 '15 at 17:07

I do and it doesn't work either. – Rex Stellar Sep 07 '15 at 17:55

You may want to email codecademy support then. – ryanpcmcquen Sep 07 '15 at 17:57
