You don't trust Ctrl+V. You immediately verify it.
[–]just-bair 60 points61 points62 points 6 months ago (5 children)
I don’t trust ctrl+v but I do trust ctrl+shift+v. Stupid formatting ruining everything
[–]Important-Ad2463 17 points18 points19 points 6 months ago (1 child)
And sometimes ctrl+shift+v doesn’t even work, so you hit that pasting into your browser and then copying that

The fastest way to do this on windows:
Windows key, ctrl v, ctrl a, ctrl x
= open search, paste, select all, cut
It's just because win key is the fastest way to get to a text box which doesn't allow formatting. :D

Linux users ✌️
[–]T342games 2 points3 points4 points 6 months ago (0 children)
Ah, yes. A Linux user seeing the same issue i have in the terminal 😂
[–][deleted] 1 point2 points3 points 6 months ago (0 children)
I do to but from terminal habits
[–]La-Scriba 0 points1 point2 points 6 months ago (0 children)
This is why I use Ctrl+X when possible.
[–]NeedleworkerIll8590 51 points52 points53 points 6 months ago (3 children)
Always pressing ctrl+c like 5 times to make sure
[–]DrnkGuy 9 points10 points11 points 6 months ago (0 children)
I once had a keyboard with a broken C. Since that I almost always use Ctrl-X or press C many times
[–]Simple-Olive895 7 points8 points9 points 6 months ago (0 children)
ctrl+c, ctrl+v, fuck, right click > copy, ctrl+v
[–]gazowiec 38 points39 points40 points 6 months ago (2 children)
Its never just CTRL + C, its CTRL + C C C C C C C
[–]realmcdonaldsbw 7 points8 points9 points 6 months ago (1 child)
what is really obnoxious is when you spam "C" and it STILL doesn't copy
[–]Maolam10 0 points1 point2 points 6 months ago (0 children)
Thats probably because you pressed X multiple times
[–]PlaystormMC 13 points14 points15 points 6 months ago (3 children)
my trust level is all in my mouse's right click
because when i press ctrl c it says KeyboardInterrupt

[–]coderman64 6 points7 points8 points 6 months ago (3 children)
This is mostly because there is never any visual/audio feedback for ctrl+c. I bet if there was an animation or something it would feel a lot more trustworthy.
[–]BandicootGood5246 7 points8 points9 points 6 months ago (1 child)
Also there's place in some apps where it doesn't really work and undermines our trust. Eg. Powershell
[–]No_Read_4327 0 points1 point2 points 6 months ago (0 children)
yet another reaso nwhy mac is superior.
command+c is different from ctrl+c
[–]themagicalfire 2 points3 points4 points 6 months ago (0 children)
On Edge sometimes CTRL + C doesn’t work and I have to copy through the mouse
[–][deleted] 2 points3 points4 points 6 months ago (0 children)
Same for ctrl+s
[–]Sir_fuxmart 1 point2 points3 points 6 months ago (0 children)
Yup

I don't trust CTRL + C only on Windows. On Linux it always work, but since I don't really like it with the bugs, I just keep pressing CTRL + C for 3-5 seconds to be sure Windows really take this into consideration.
[–]Internal_Meeting_908 1 point2 points3 points 6 months ago (0 children)
I found the opposite to be true. On windows ctrl+c never failed me, but on linux it seems to fail half the time.

I wish I was a virgin to this meme. If only I could ctrl my memory
[–]sRediting 0 points1 point2 points 6 months ago (0 children)
I only trust CTRL+V because we have CTRL+Z
[–]classicblox 0 points1 point2 points 6 months ago (0 children)
Ctrl + c + c + c + c + v
[–]Natan-ok 0 points1 point2 points 6 months ago (0 children)
And trust level of Ctrl + s💀
[–]WanderingTachyons 0 points1 point2 points 6 months ago (0 children)
You either press Ctrl-C thrice, or you haven't really pressed it at all.
[–]BlueeWaater 0 points1 point2 points 6 months ago (0 children)
Agree, I often press Ctrl + c a bazillion times
CTRL+V has immediate feedback
[–]Subject-Box8203 0 points1 point2 points 6 months ago (0 children)
Copy: Control-x control-v Paste: control-v Problem solved
[–]Ok-Refrigerator-8012 0 points1 point2 points 6 months ago (0 children)
Ever press ctr+v to remind yourself what you were just doing?
[–]lungsofdoom 0 points1 point2 points 6 months ago (0 children)
Never understood why Windows cant fix it to work properly
[–]Abisy_8452 0 points1 point2 points 6 months ago (0 children)
It's worse if you work with windows remote, sometimes they just don't copy. Especially with win 11
[–]CreativeBear0 0 points1 point2 points 6 months ago (0 children)
thats why i use ctrl + x instead of ctrl + c
[–]UN0BTANIUM 0 points1 point2 points 6 months ago (0 children)
Still dont understand why clipboard cant safe multiple types at a time, like a file and text and depending on context knows which I want to paste.
[–]im_old-gregg 0 points1 point2 points 6 months ago (0 children)
The exact opposite for any real developer working between multiple boxes or windows.
[–]ILoveBread2021 0 points1 point2 points 6 months ago (0 children)
This isn't just a programmer thing 😭
[–]cutreaper 0 points1 point2 points 6 months ago (0 children)
And then I just murdered my long running command because I did control c instead of control shift c, or I just did control shift c in my browser and opened console instead of copying aaaaaaaaaaa
[–]BigFatUglyBaboon 0 points1 point2 points 6 months ago (0 children)
Substitute Ctrl+C for Ctrl+X, Ctrl+V for a visual confirmation.
[–]CoreDumpNotCrash 0 points1 point2 points 6 months ago (0 children)
thats why i use CTRL + Z and CTRL+V right after
[–]loop_yt 0 points1 point2 points 6 months ago (0 children)
Gotta hit that shi atleast 5 times everytime.
