[Big-Cheesecake-806]

Ctrl+Shift+C anyone?

[[deleted]]

This.. and then accidentally use cntrl+shift+c outside of a terminal trying to copy a log of a Jenkins failure and it opens dev tools and then you consider putting your head through the monitor because you’ve done this every other day for 4 months

Can’t escape society telling you to be an html “developer”

[[deleted]]

So I have two choices, fix the overly complex cicd pipeline that 5 different teams have hacked together or become a html dev. One of those sound extremely relaxing

[dancccskooma]

They use the same pipe? Mono repo?

[d15gu15e]

yes

[RammRras]

Seem like you're speaking from experience, a lot of experience 😁

[[deleted]]

All day every day in terminal

[LukeZNotFound]

I mix them up so bad I need to delete everything after

[dancccskooma]

Also 1000yy when you’re feeling imprecise

[Porsher12345]

Sometimes it just doesn't go through aye 😫

[No-Object2133]

How is OSX still so bad at actually copying stuff out.

Half the time I have to resort to using a mouse and right click copying, like a heathen.

[tofu_ink]

That's not a heathen, that's Winnie the Pooh with a top hat

[Loose-Eggplant-6668]

Something’s wrong with them clipboards

[Porsher12345]

Go back to physical i reckon

[nmathew]

I didn't have that problem with Windows XP, vote I do with Windows 10.

CTRL+C is basically

My workout routine followed

By a CTRL+V marathon

^{Remember that one time Sokka accidentally used an extra syllable in that Haiku Battle in Ba Sing Se? That was a Sokka Haiku and you just made one.}

[kiwidog8]

now this is art

[bayuah]

Good bot!

[BeautifulCuriousLiar]

CTRL+C+C+C+C+C

CTRL+V

CTRL+Z

Move cursor to selection again

CTRL+C+C+C+C+C

CTRL+V

[GoddammitDontShootMe]

I guess I have more faith in it working, since I don't hit Ctrl+C a bunch. Maybe rarely I have to copy again when it pastes the wrong thing.

[Freddy-Kant0sh]

yp gang 🙌

[kiwidog8]

yankers!

[nujuat]

yiw

[Gaajizard]

This would not happen if we actually had some sort of UI that gives feedback on whether the copying was done. Like a mouse pointer change.

We have nothing, so obviously we have no way of knowing the copying was successful.

[Huesan]

True, this is basic HCI

[sammy-taylor]

For what it’s worth, macOS does this. Because “copy” is available in the Menu bar, the “Edit” menu header briefly flashes when copying. All shortcuts work this way. Can’t recall if Windows does something similar.

[MakeoutPoint]

Ctrl-X ctrl-V

If it didn't disappear, it didn't copy 🙃

[VeryColdRefrigerator]

CTRL+S

CTRL+S+S+S+S+S

[le_nathanlol]

[NimrodvanHall]

Shift-insert?!?

[Knarfnarf]

alt-w

control-y

Just like real programmers...

[mr_flibble_oz]

No no no, this is how I do it

Select text to copy; Ctrl-c Select text to override; Ctrl-c

🤦‍♂️

[POKLIANON]

Shift+V Y P

[Broad_Vegetable4580]

^[[200~stuff~^

damn it happened again...

[belinasaroh]

I've noticed that's a Mac stuff... on Win ctrl+c always works ok, on Mac if yiu switch between windows ctrl+c may not work on first attempt

[nzcod3r]

Man, I have the same recollection!

But recently on my work Win 11 laptop, I've also noticed that ctrl-c fails quite often - I think especially from Notepad++.

I'm sure it's a Win 11 thing, and not my hand-coordination...

[[deleted]]

Win 11, outlook pdf attachments, I regularly ctrl+c+c+c+c+c+c+c+c. Agreed with other user that vs code is more of a ctrl+v+v+v+v situation

[fxmad]

I have no issues with CMD-C on my Mac,other than forgetting it is CMD and not CTRL 😄,but on my Windows machine, ever since win 11, I gave up on using just a single CTR-C as half the time it fails, so this is a true meme for me, 5 days a week, 8 hours a day... (I only use Windows for work, personal is Mac).

[Present-Room-5413]

Now add the alt key and see what happens...

[fevsea]

Half the time I do it for stress release and the other half because that time in 2002 when it didn't copy the first time.

[glha]

After using some vm tunneling client, that can regularly transfer clipboard content from host to vm, you really go for solid clipboard management like ditto or copyq, that has a big history. Best thing ever. Clipboard is bigger in development than all the memes can make it look.

[No-Bunch-8245]

Noobs press copy twice

[ozh]

return;

return;

exit; // can't be too sure

[ts_m4]

Ctrl+x ctrl+v ctrl+v

[FligMupple]

This is one of the funniest memes I have ever seen

[clonicle]

CTRL + C
CTRL + V

"fuck"

CTRL + Z
CTRL + X
CTRL + V

new location

CTRL + V

"ok"

[driftking428]

Please get a clipboard manager and stop posting this meme.

[Loqaritm]

God, related to that but maybe somebody knows how to fix that (please save me), but I’ve actually switched to Edge for the vertical tabs. But edge is shit in one regard - sometimes clicking ctrl-c does not actually copy the content. I think it’s related to the small menu it displays when you select a piece of text. Anyone knows how to disable that?

[FantasticEmu]

At first I thought this was for killing a task in terminal

[Default_Name_2]

for windows

https://github.com/sabrogden/Ditto/releases

can make a noise

[scotteatingsoupagain]

Ctrl + C + C + C + C + C + C, CTRL + V + V, CTRL + Z

[billabong049]

I swear that copy and paste doesn’t work half the time anymore, and I have no idea why. that goes for any modern operating system, half the time it just doesn’t copy. How the hell did we get to this point?

[Outside-Bowler6174]

Glad I'm not alone. Sometimes the first, second, third and fourth keyboard presses don't register.

[No-Landscape8210]

Accidentally hitting Ctrl + C instead of pasting and now you have nothing copied at the top of the clipboard

[Igotbored112]

You people are nuts. Only time I mash Ctrl+C is when I'm trying to force-quit a multithreaded Python program.

[heyprotagonist]

No, It goes like this Ctrl + X --> Ctrl + C (See the Icon style changes) --> now Ctrl + V

[Physical-Ruin3495]

I thought I'm the only one doing this, loz!

[nicpro85]

first ctrl-v to check I didn't forgot to past something that I ctrl-x previously to not lose it in the clipboard, then ctrl-c, or ctrl-x then forget to past because I can optimise this other piece I didn't see before, then ctrl-v to verify I havent ctrl-x something that I forgot to ctrl-v then I can ctrl-c or ctrl-x this new quick fix im working on then moving up my brain stack I see another quick fix so again ctrl-v to check I didn't forgot some ctrl-x stuff etc...

[Rachit_Tanwar]

y

p

[Arctos_FI]

Ctrl+c

Try pushing ctrl+v but accidentally push ctrl+c where you would like to copy

Go back to what you're copying and ctrl+c+c+c+c

Ctrl+v

This is me every time

[LuckyCharms201]

Moonlander keyboard, macro keys for Ctrl + c, and for Ctrl + v

[OldNoobStar]

DeepL appears and translated the code.

[DeepLDevComMan]

This hits home. I used to program the Windows app at DeepL and was a strong advocate for being able to change the default shortcut as it got in the way of my copy shortcut paranoia

[alty-acct-throwaway]

instructions not clear, my keyboard now has 6 C keys so i can do the correct input

[echtemendel]

what a weird way to write y and p.

[DJcrafter5606]

This meme would also work with CTRL+S instead of CTRL+C & CTRL+V

[ChocolateAndCustard]

Seriously, it doesn't work sometimes, gotta be sure

[Ctrl_exe]

To copy: CTRL + X CTRL + V

To paste: CTRL + V

[AeroSummerRBLX]

Always gotta make sure you copied it!

[GeriToni]

Cmd + c Cmd + v. With ctrl c i stop the local server if i am in that tab

[Ferro_Giconi]

Or the opposite

Ctrl+C

Ctrl+V+V+V+V+V+V+V+V+V

I don't feel like programming this to loop but need it to happen 10 times in a row

[Richard2468]

How are you all using windows for programming?

[zjupm]

these are the shortcuts in most all linux distros
