On OS X, when you want to paste text in the game (e.g: the seed field, a server IP, the multiplayer chat... any text field), you have to use the shortcut Ctrl-V.
It's perfectly logical on Windows or Linux, but on OS X, all the programs use the Cmd-V shortcut, so it's not intuitive at all.

No such thing as "Mac OS X" Mountain Lion. It's "OS X." I'd advise modifying your ticket to reflect this.
Edit: Thanks for fixing this.
This isn't the only issue - the following all exist (some aren't OS X specific):
The following system-wide OS X text-editing shortcuts do not exist:
Cmd+A/C/V/X - should be instead of Ctrl+A/C/V/X
Option/Alt+Left/Right - should move back and forth by word (like Ctrl on Windows)
Cmd+Left/Right - should be the equivalent of Home/End
(extension of above) Cmd+Shift+Left/End - should select everything before/after the cursor
Cmd+Backspace - should delete everything before the cursor
Alt+Backspace - should delete the word before the cursor
System-independent issues (not just OS X):
Ctrl+Shift+Left/Right - only selects one word
Ctrl+Right - should 'hug' the word rather than jumping past the trailing space.
Reasons why the code does what it does:
You include Cmd as a recognised alternative to Ctrl, but a lot of the key combinations you listen out for are detected by their C0 code, which of course will only include the Ctrl character.
confirmed for 13w18c
I don't see why this isn't fixed yet. It doesn't seem to be so hard to fix.
(correct me if I'm wrong, I do not program java)

Hmm... According to Grum:
1) Anything that use CTRL before now exclusively uses CMD on osx. (Meaning the default stack-drop-keybinding will quit your game 😃)
This should have been fixed with 1.6.2. Guess he missed something.
Yeah, it's still not working for me. I still HAVE to use CTRL instead of CMD, and it's is very annoying. Edit: I am on 1.6.2
Still in 14w11b
The issue fixed in MC-13695 is not the same as this issue.
Not fixed in 1.7.4. Although technically Mac users can press CTRL+V, not only is it an oddity for the operating system, I have a gaming keyboard that allows me to program text macros that are "sent" to the application using copy & paste. The keybaord control software sends "CMD+V" to paste, which is proper for a Mac, but Minecraft doesn't recognize it.

Yeah, I have that same issue
14w18a
Still have this in 14w33a.
14w34b.
Finally it got fixed! Thanks you, Grum!!!
Cmd-AXCV are what we 'supported' for those commands. Those are using 'Cmd' now on OSX.
Thank you.
Quick question, when you use the Cut/Copy function, but nothing is selected, the clipboard is still cleared/made blank. Is that normal for Minecraft?
Depends. Does that happen when you use other programs? If yes, then it's normal. If not, file a bug on this Minecraft bug tracker.
No. Standard cut/copy behavior on OS X requires an explicit selection to update the clipboard.
I'll create the report: MC-68497
I'm glad my bug report got fixed, even though I don't use a Mac anymore... 😛 Thanks, Grum!

According to MC-78815 this was not fixed for pasting in signs.
Ok, well the mod on MC-78815 marked it as an invalid feature request. I'd like to see a Won't Fix or WAI from Mojang though...
Pasting on signs does not exist in 1.8.7
I found this pretty annoying, I had to get used to it, though it's odd to copy a seed CMD-C then go CTRL-V in Minecraft.
