I'll ask my zap (related) question first so it doesn't get lost in all the key binding stuff below...
I really like "set zap" - the behavior is closer to what I'm used to. Unfortunately, what I really AM used to is selecting text then typing over it. That's the way I edit text and have for decades; I can't seem to break myself of it. That doesn't work in nano - the selected text doesn't go away. Is there a setting I'm missing/not understanding that could enable that behavior?

Key Bindings Issue
I don't know what I did (some change I made to nanorc) but I can no longer copy a line then paste it. It pastes whatever is on the (main/system?) clipboard and I can't seem to fix it.
I've pasted my key bindings below. As you can see, I bound ^V to "all" and unbound "^U from "all". I originally had ^V bound to "Paste all" - I think that's where the problem started. If I try to change the binding to "all" or "paste", the line turns red and I get a message: [ Mistakes in 'etc/nanorc' ]
The weird part of this is that I think this works fine (as configured) on my machines and servers at home. Could this be a weird quirk of WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) on my (W11) work machine?

Other changes I made (skipping all the commented lines to reduce bloat) - in case the problem is there somewhere:
set afterends
set atblanks
set autoindent
set mouse
set smarthome
set softwrap
set stateflags
set zap
