FACT.
Does anyone here know why it’s unreliable?
It wasn’t always like this.
I swear every version of Windows between 3.11 and XP was 100% reliable. Then it just started… slipping.
What’s weird is that it often works on the second try.
Because your company makes you use Azure Virtual Desktop to connect to a VM and AVD’s clipboard handling is as unreliable as anything else from Microsoft?
That’s a sensible theory for when this happens at work (it’s Citrix in my case).
I’d swear it happens at home on Windows 10 as well, though. Maybe I am pressing it wrong sometimes. Either way, the meme is spot on for me.
In my case it’s mostly that browsers and as such also electron Apps unfocus textboxes when the window is unfocused for seemingly no reason, sometimes without giving visual indication meaning that I need to reselect it to copy it.
Windows.
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
Mouse highlight -> middle mouse click
On linux
kdeyou can highlight & middle clickEdit: ive only ever used kde seriously so didn’t realise this was an x/ wayland thing.
Pretty sure that’s an X (and I guess now Wayland) thing, not a KDE thing. I could be wrong, but I think you could sit down at a VAX from the '80s and expect it to work.
Thanks for the correction!
That was part of X right? Not jusy KDE. And a lot of wayland stuff also has it.
i have this in hyprland which is wayland 👍
It’s a UX issue. Ctrl+c has no feedback to the user.
Don’t you mean ctrl + shift + c if in terminal and ctrl+c elsewhere
I don’t get it.
Gotta make sure that things get copied.
Ctrl + X a function
Select some loose whitespace, backspace
Ctrl + V: Gives back the whitespace and that’s all
What the everloving fk, IDE
nvim packs the most essential features 😍
Pooh in monocle and tophat: yy & p
…. control-shift-v
that is all
You can never be too sure.
cp -a ~/file1 ~/file2I gotta use macOS occasionally to make ipa builds and I don’t have command key and remapping ctrl doesn’t work so I gotta use mouse
Doesn’t command map to the windows key?
Nope it doesn’t
If you can’t trust the C button, better use CMD not CTRL, because you are likely on a mac
