I had a similar issue today (and it has happened before). For me it was not "ctrl+v" that triggered the Exception, but simply typing "."
I also just made a venv (python -m venv .venv) and tried to activate it (.venv/Scripts/activate)

The report URL https://github.com/lzybkr/PSReadLine/issues/new in your exception message indicates that you are using a very old version of PSReadLine, 2.0.0-beta2 or prior. Please upgrade to the latest v2.3.6 version of PSReadLine and give it another try.
