I'm setting up django. Part of the process is registering the admin name and email address, and both fields are required. When I'm prompted for the email, the console won't let me type in the @ mark for some reason. Every other characters seems to input ok.

Some things I did/thought of to narrow it down: -It's not a keyboard problem. Everywhere except the console works fine. -It's not input mode issue. The laptop I'm using is Japanese and has a Japanese keyboard, but the input mode is correct while using the console. -One workaround I thought of is to type the at-mark somewhere else, copy, then paste into the console. Unfortunately the console doesn't understand control-v as paste.

Hi swallace, Shift-Control-V works in Chrome. In Firefox you have to use the paste menu item.

This will be a known problem with the VT100 emulator we use. We are keeping an eye out for a suitable replacement.

Thanks. Using workaround of pasting in from the edit menu worked.
