…. control-shift-v
that is all
I wish there was a way of making that the default behavior, I spent so much time removing random formatting that people have inserted into excel documents.
CoPilot likes to come in and tell me about all of the errors in the spreadsheet, but it’s really clunky and slow so it’s often easier to just fix them manually, it never fixes formatting issues the stupid thing.
I use my mouse’s wheel tilt.
You press ctrl+c 20 times. I press ctrl +x then ctrl +v once. We are not the same
And then ctrl-z a bunch of times because fuckfuckfuck
nvim packs the most essential features 😍
It’s a UX issue. Ctrl+c has no feedback to the user.
It’s also just a Windows issue because it doesn’t recognize that I pressed control c sometimes
Not a windows only thing, I have a Mac and I end up pressing command+c 20 times too
It is absolutely a windows 11 clipboard issue, which fails silently ALL OF THE TIME.
Yeah sometimes it just types a space. Like where did it get that from I have never in my entire life copied a single space character.
Don’t you mean ctrl + shift + c if in terminal and ctrl+c elsewhere
On Mac, iterm has a highlight to copy feature that I love and miss when I have to use someone else’s mac
can you tell me more about that “ctel” modifier key. I haven’t seen that anywhere else
Vim has entered the chat
vwypYou mean
ywp? You don’t need visual mode for a single motion lolBurn the witch!!!
This is a huge problem in windows now and it never used to be.
Everything Microsoft does seems to degrade that shit OS daily.
it pisses me off so much. literally every month some new feature/bug is added to critical software that we use and which results in clearly quantifiable wasted time, money, and stress
the ctrl+c issue alone has cost the company a few thousand dollars in the past year from the few cases I can think of off the top of my head. there’s a bit of software that we use where we need to enter the information that exists in one field into another field. obviously copy paste is the way to do this, it’s simple and it should work, right? except the program is built on Access and has its own problems on top of Windows fucking everything up. so what happens is people paste the previous copy into the new field instead of the newly-attemped copy. and that results in people spending hundreds of dollars to order the wrong part. bc the fucking software is garbage to interact with.
The one that pisses me off is when remote desktop randomly decides that the clipboard isn’t going to sync over anymore.
I’ll never understand why successful companies can’t just keep printing money, but give in to the insatiable desire to enshittify.
AI is starting to bear its true fruits.
Mouse highlight -> middle mouse click
No. This is the dumbest UX decision anyone has ever made, and I will die on this hill. The keyboard is for text, and the mouse is used for navigation. Anything else, is a bastardization dreamt up by mad men.
If you’re using your mouse to highlight it already then it makes sense to paste with it.
But my computer has two different clipboards :)
vim has 48 “clipboards”, but how many people use more than one? how many people get frustrated when they accidentally use the non-default one?
People who make use of macros would be using more than one. I make use of some of the various registers from time to time, but I’d have to be doing something pretty extreme to run out of letters.
I mean I use at least two; one for vim and a second one mapped to my system clipboard. But I’ll often yank to other buffers when I’m deep in a project, sometimes you don’t want to lose something you’re gonna be pasting throughout a document.
What do you think the middle click should do?
Selecting text to automatically copy it, and then pasting it with the middle mouse button is clearly the superior method.
They aren’t prepared for the ancient texts

y pgang rise upMy favourite activity is
yypppppppppppWhy not yy11p eh!
Not nearly as satisfying
I disagree, executing obscure commands like that makes me feel extra smug
I mean, I wouldn’t call yank and paste with a count modifier obscure but it is the best way to minimize keystrokes.
Hah!
Ah, a fellow golfer, I see.
M-w
