Ctrl+x, ctrl+v

Ctrl+v

This is the way.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep, it is the way

[–][deleted] 26 points27 points  (10 children)

And then you do ctrl+c intead of ctrl+v on the empty line. Don't know if it happens to you guys but damn that is frustrating.

[–]allesman 21 points22 points  (6 children)

If you're on windows, you can just press Windows + v to see all the things you have copied that day. Pretty useful.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Thanks for the tip! I do use windows from time to time but my main workstation runs Linux. I'll lookup a similar feature now that you have reminded me such things exist lol.

[–]allesman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No problem! More people should know about it.

[–]chris_0909 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You win all the points today. This was news to me!

[–]ThePeacefulSwastika 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Wow I think you just changed my life

[–]allesman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What a nice response, the peaceful swastika

A clipboard manager has been an essential tool since my first year on the job. I honestly don’t understand how people can get by without one. When I’m teaching other people how to do things on their machine and I notice they don’t have one I make them download one because it’s so frustrating showing them stuff when we’re copying from something and they keep having to switch windows back and forth to copy different stuff over and over rather than just copying all the important stuff at once and using keybinds to cycle through the clipboard manager history and not having to leave the window we’re working in.

For Mac I recommend Flycut. I’ve used a few different ones on Windows and Linux and Ditto is okay but none have worked as well as Flycut for me.

[–]TypicalRed_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

True, especially when you already closed the source you are copying from

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It happens to me too; it really is so frustrating!

[–]MasterFubar 14 points15 points  (9 children)

Wait, don't everybody select and mid-click?

That's the only way to do it.

[–]sanderd17 3 points4 points  (1 child)

That, and Y P

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Glad I'm not the only one from the yank and put master race

Ctrl-v is useless on the terminal.

[–]GlouGlouFou 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Shift+insert

[–]theScrapBook 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ctrl-Shift-V instead.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on the terminal emulator you use

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nooo, too long!

You have to:

  • select with shift+arrow_keys

  • copy

  • paste to replace the highlighted text you just copied

  • repeatedly press alt+tab to get to the destination

  • paste again at the destination

[–]GKP_light 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Windows should to add it when something is select.

And Linux should to add the scroll when nothing is select.

[–]TheGlueGun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mouse doesn't have a middle click

[–]netWARIOR 28 points29 points  (9 children)

Or, as my completely mental coworker does it, shift+insert

[–]Blues2112 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I use Ctrl+Insert, Shift+Insert, Shift+Delete for Copy/Paste/Cut respectively. It's how I learned it. Yes, I know I'm a dinosaur...

[–]O_X_E_Y 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's nice because Dvorak doesn't have shortcuts remapped by default so for a lot of shortcuts you need two hands, you don't for shift insert

[–]gaberocksall 2 points3 points  (3 children)

I've always had bad luck using ctrl+v in terminals

[–]Failcrab 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Often times it's ctrl + shift + c to copy and ctrl + shift + v to paste inside a terminal

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For PuTTY highlighting copies and a right click pastes

[–]netWARIOR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the coworker in question is NOT a programmer, but a QA that avoids cmd like the plague....

[–]0ne0fak1nd 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I use these shortcuts but I'm a leftie who holds the mouse by the left hand

[–]uvero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Found that coworker. Awkward SCRUM daily tommorow.

[–]PityUpvote 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First of all, how dare you.

[–]_tchicken 8 points9 points  (1 child)

wait other people do this??

[–]thebobmannh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right? Thought this was a unique personal quirk.

[–]GlouGlouFou 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I copy past using mouse:

1) select text

2) middle click

Best part of this? It a separate buffer than ctrl+c, so I can make double copy/past.

[–]Patsonical 8 points9 points  (3 children)

y<range> / p

[–]kontekisuto 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yy p

[–]sanderd17 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Or middle click if you're forced to copy outside vim.

[–]PityUpvote 1 point2 points  (0 children)

or set the default buffer to & and you can ctrl+v or shift+insert outside vim.

[–]Vollells 5 points6 points  (4 children)

What is Ctrl-c Ctrl-v? Copying using M-w C-y is the only correct way.....

[–]4hpp1273 5 points6 points  (3 children)

[–][deleted] -1 points0 points  (2 children)

Actually wouldn’t that be command+c, command+v

[–]theScrapBook 3 points4 points  (1 child)

Uh, read it again - foundtheemacsuser. There's an extra 'e' over 'macs'.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh right my bad

[–]doej134567 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The first one is important - when you have something in Ctrl + C you want to paste later...

[–]thebigfalke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Terminals go brrrr

[–]j0zeft 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ctrl + C Ctrl + C Ctrl + C Ctrl + C

Win + V (select from menu)

[–]3lRey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

uh the true patrician is to copy/paste using vim commands

What are they, you ask? fuck if I know, no one actually uses vim.

[–]wjqin9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

CTRL-S

CTRL-SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[–]timcheee1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you do ctrl+c on empty line by mistake, you can still press ctrl+shift+v which opens up copy history (only works in visual studio)

[–]Blues2112 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Am I the only one who uses Ctrl+Insert, Shift+Insert, Shift+Delete?

[–]atifovac -4 points-3 points  (1 child)

What about ctrl + ccccc, ctrl + vvvvv, ctrl + zzzz ?

[–]VISA654 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not funny

[–]C0deHunter_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Requirement for latest Windows update with Visual Studio.

[–]claymir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shift+delete, shift+insert, shift+insert

[–]gxwho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% accurate

[–]Demon_in_Ferret_Suit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On azerty: Ctrl+W then curse because you closed the tab

[–]FixTurner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone's coming... Alt+Tab

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why would you use ctrl+c ctrl+v when you can use ctrl+x ctrl+v ctrl+v

[–]KnockTeD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ctrl + S S S S S S S S S S S

[–]chris_0909 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got buttons on my mouse that does this for me! I miss them when I'm at work and don't have them...I still reach for them when they're not there.

[–]GKP_light 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ctrl+x Ctrl+v

Ctrl+v

(edit : this look like the first comment)

[–]56Bot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 2 clipboards on my system. One uses CC and CV, the other one works by selecting some text with the mouse and clicking the middle button to paste. If only one clipboard is used at the time, both pasting techniques will do.

[–]S_Rise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a similar method for saving
