Yanking with C-y works in minibuffer but not in org-mode

[antoan]

What did you expect to happen?
Paste text copied from browser to clipboard into org-mode buffer using C-y
...

What actually happened?
A single asterix is printed instead of text in clipboard
...

Additional details:

• Include a link to your private config
• Include screenshots/casts of your issue
• If you mention key sequences, include what commands they're bound to (use SPC h k KEY or C-h h k KEY to inspect keys).
• Include any warnings or errors logged to *Messages* (use M-x view-echo-area-messages to see it).

If an error message is involved include a backtrace of it.
How to acquire a backtrace:

Steps to reproduce:

1. Select these example steps,
2. Delete them,
3. And replace them with precise steps to reproduce your issue.
4. Fill in "system information" below.

System information:

Place the output of `M-x doom/info` or `~/.emacs.d/bin/doom info` here.

I can however copy the text using M-x clipboard-yank which is not bound to any keys. Is this intentional?

The only editing I've done so far on my private configuration is to enable the cc module.

Cheers.

I ran F1 k C-y in org and it yields evil-copy-from-above, which is the default behavior of C-y for evil users. If you don't want evil, I'd recommend disabling it. Otherwise, here are some "evil" ways to paste things in insert mode:

1. C-r +
2. C-o p (C-o = exit insert mode for a single command).
3. If you're on macOS -- I can't tell because you didn't include your M-x doom/info -- cmd+v will work too
4. Turn on cua-mode (by adding (cua-mode +1) to ~/.doom.d/config.el), and C-v will become available for pasting.

Hope that helps!

I see, thank you, I really appreciate it.
