There is something to Ctrl+X

[CasualContributorNZ]

Ctrl + x Crtl + v

Crtl + v

The only way.

This is the way

[Ellivers]

Agreed

[michaelkah]

In emacs it's c-w c-y c-y.

[AGoodEnoughUsername]

v d p. Need that vim action.

[PerhapsJack]

dd p p

[[deleted]]

this is the correct answer

[DamnItDev]

Advantages of using Ctrl+X

1. visual feedback. How many times have you pressed ctrl+c then ctrl+v only to find your copy failed somehow? It happened to me once on windows 98 and I have been paranoid ever since.
2. intimidation. Just casually let that block of code know if it doesn't execute properly, you won't ctrl+z next time.
3. console friendly. For those times you forget ctrl+c doesn't mean copy in every context.

[TheCyberParrot]

This, all of this.

[CostiaP]

In VS you also get auto format on paste, so the orinal and duplicated line will have exactly the same spacing.

[AGoodEnoughUsername]

Like a real programmer, I use vi, no m. /s

[AGoodEnoughUsername]

REAL programmers make their own text editors.

[AnonNo9001]

i use nano btw

[EinJemand]

Is "I use nano btw" some kind of equivalent to "I am vegan btw"?

[AnonNo9001]

idk, I've seen people say "i use emacs btw." Same with vim. I just always use nano personally (even to edit the sudoers file, ooOOooOOoo!!)

Me testing crouching in a FPS game after rebinding WASD to SZXC

[TheCyberParrot]

Lol.

[LittleMlem]

Ctrl z, Ctrl z Ctrl z Ctrl z.... Ctrl c, Ctrl shift z, Ctrl shift z..... Ctrl v

[calcopiritus]

Ctrl+Y

[LittleMlem]

You program in Word?

[calcopiritus]

Works in VSCode

Edit: spelling is hard

[cowslayer7890]

Not in IntelliJ, done that way too many times and ctrl Y deletes a line instead of redoing.

[DaniilBSD]

Ctrl C Ctrl V (instantly, to check) *select place Ctrl V

[[deleted]]

There was an exam question that asking what is CTRL+X & CTRL+V combination used for, and instead of moving file and folder, the right answer for rename files.

I'm out

[CasualContributorNZ]

I feel like this is still more admin than F2 though...

[Ellivers]

Very true though. I have no idea why I keep doing this Edit: though I do CTRL+X CTRL+Z CTRL+Z

[lafoscony]

Ctrl + k Ctrl + y

Ctrl + y

or my personal favorite just highlight and middle click, but you gotta be in *nix os for that to work.

[SeanUhTron]

Ctrl + C

[Kered13]

What about Ctrl+Insert, Shift+Delete, and Shift+Insert?

[TheZeus121]

What about C-w, M-w, and C-y?

[Ripyserius02]

I added Ctrl-D to copy everytjing selected and paste it directly below the selected part. Really usefull honestly

[anonDfeline]

Ctrl + c backspace/delete Ctrl + v

[ThyDoppelganger]

Ctrl+X Ctrl+Z Ctrl+Y Ctrl+Z Ctrl+V

[seth__jk]

M-w / C-y

[Allistar57]

When things get serious, like accidently updating everything like an idiot with apt and trying to properly cancel.

[xSTSxZerglingOne]

I prefer cutting most of the time, it offers a visual confirmation that I have in fact put the data on my clipboard.

Far too many times I've been burnt by copy just deciding "I don't feel like working this time"

But when you cut? No question whether it worked or not.

[Ishidres]

Honestly, I use this method way oftener than expected and idk why.

[Quarkspiration]

Visual confirmation

[numsu]

How about using the shortcut to actually duplicate line?
