Did you try the latest nightly build to see if the issue is better (or worse!) than your current version?

No, and I'll explain why below

Describe the bug

Pasting with Shift+Insert doesn't work.

To Reproduce

with vim

• Open vim, type in a text, select it and yank it.
• Open gedit, press Ctrl-v (works), then press Shift+Insert (should also work).
• Go back to vim, and press p in normal mode (paste). It should work. Go to insert mode and press Ctrl-Shift-v : also works. In insert mode press Shift+Insert : nothing happens.

with micro

It's simpler than vim.

• Write in a text, select it and press Ctrl-c . Go to a new line and press Ctrl-v : works. Press Shift-Insert : you don't get the same text.
• Start gedit. There pasting with Ctrl-v and Shift-Insert work.

Configuration

I renamed my config file and launched wezterm with zero configuration.

Expected Behavior

With Ctrl-v and Shift-Insert I would like to paste the same text. If Ctrl-v works, Shift-Insert should also work.

Logs

Anything else?

I'm trying to move from Konsole to wezterm. I tried it in Konsole, there it works well.

On X11 there is the clipboard buffer (usually controlled through Ctrl-c/v/x), and there is the primary selection.
The X11 primary selection is normally automatically filled when you select some text in an application, and then middle mouse click or Shift-Insert is used to paste from that primary selection.

If you want to paste from the Clipboard when you do Shift-Insert, you'll need to configure the Shift-Insert keybind in your config using the PasteFrom action

Thank you! After adding the following line it works as I expected:

{ key = "Insert", mods = "SHIFT", action = act.PasteFrom("Clipboard") },
