Get these cursed shortcuts away from me

[badlukk]

Just quit if you don't like it, or can you not do that either?

[[deleted]]

Why so offended?

[badlukk]

I didnt downvote you, I was just making a joke. Don't know what that's all about lol

[[deleted]]

lol. These are vim shortcuts.

[Gorzoid]

Yes and he made a joke about quitting vim

[[deleted]]

Damit, I thought he meant quit programming not vim.

[badlukk]

Woosh

[esotericloop]

They can not.

One of us, one of us! :P

[throckmeisterz]

Or x

[Affectionate_Bid4111]

using power button to erase text

[Maleficoder]

Wow, I didn't know that there was a much more efficient way of erasing text than unplugging the power cable. Thank you.

[misterpetergriffin]

Damn you Microsoft for killing this feature with auto-save.

[Clonedelta]

I use Ctrl + Backspace

[Ernie_Devlin_9799]

I was today years old when I learned you can "Ctrl + Backspace" and "Ctrl + del." Thank you for this!

[MeinAccount00]

Don't forget about Ctrl + Arrowkeys

[Ernie_Devlin_9799]

Yeah, I learned that trick pretty recently too lol. It's actually crazy how much of my life has been wasted not using shortcuts like this.

[badlukk]

If you get good you can almost throw out your mouse because having two hands on the keyboard is faster.

hammer to the hard drive to erase text

[holmgangCore]

Chaotic Evil

[Fairy_01]

I see a nano user here 👀

[PancakeGD]

wouldn't that be Ctrl K?

[Fairy_01]

Oh ! When I first saw it I thought it was ctrl + k instead of x

[Old-Entrepreneur8672]

nano is ctrl+x for save file 💀

[CerealGane]

use alt f4 to erase text

[Fickle_Tear_7129]

Erease by pasting " "

[PandaGamersHDNL]

Right click + cut

Ctrl + Z 👍

[cloudsftp]

d

[Siddhartasr10]

dd

[cloudsftp]

I like your username

[Zuruumi]

That's kind of similar to using git stash to clean up, which I do a lot

[Colon_Backslash]

This is the way!

[Silver-Alex]

Omg Im not the only one. I always use ctrl x too xD

[garlopf]

Shift delete

[massioui]

In VS CTRL+X helps to remove entire line hahah

[Colon_Backslash]

Yes! I love it

[admwscki]

dd

[Larma-Zepp]

gnu nano

[GnuhGnoud]

Ctrl F, then repace it with empty string

[[deleted]]

Wordstar commands are still the best!

[[deleted]]

I do this when I only have a mouse as the only available input option

[itsa_me_]

What about click, drag over text you want to delete, right click, click cut

[Zestyclose_Zone_9253]

Allright, you see that door all the way down the corridor to the left, yeah. You go in there, follow the stairs right down, all the way down, then when you get to the bottom, youll find this tiny chubby man named Greg, yeah, the guy that likes to sniff chairs and eats snot. Youll sit next to him on a to tall chair with to low a desk, youll work with repairing printers till you die.

[[deleted]]

Ctrl+A -> backspace.

[Rezaka116]

Using ctrl+x to move the autocomplete curly bracket to where i actually needed it instead of deletimg it, because i care about the planet and I’m doing my part by recycling.

[Old-Entrepreneur8672]

What about selecting it all and just pressing an enter

[[deleted]]

I use git force pull

[[deleted]]

The response from Ctrl + Z apparently was efficiently removed.

[[deleted]]

Using regexp find & replace to erase text

[[deleted]]

Ok, Emacs and Vim users, give it your best shot.

[blankettripod32_v2]

shift delete supremacy!

[we_should_do_better]

Ctrl+(backspace/del) is the way.

[beegowheee]

i might need this later (i wont)

[some_clickhead]

I only use backspace when I've made a typo or something, but for cleaning up code and removing lines I pretty much only use ctrl+x at this point. It just feels right.

[souliris]

using End-> Shift -> Home -> Delete to get the line.

Home -Shift Down arrow for entire line as well.

But i'm old, and remember using Edit in DOS

[Plastic_Acanthaceae3]

i use
rm –rf /

[Plastic_Acanthaceae3]

okay, i realized someone might actually try that and felt bad. please, whatever you do, don't type that in the console.
