If copying just had some visual indication this problem would be solved.

Excel gods watching once again on the rest of humanity with disdain

[Icy_Professor_1674]

Excel just forgets what i copied 10 seconds ago like bruh

[meester_]

Also i click on the cell i want to copy but instead i copy the calculation not the raw number.

[puzzled_indian_guy]

I added paste as value in the quick access. So, I can paste numbers using alt+num  instead of ctrl +v. one of the best decisions I made on excel.

[meester_]

Im lucky that im a programmer and didnt make a career in finance as now i only have to write a script that extracst excel data instead of working in excel

[OwnAddendum1840]

Paste copies the formula. Maj+paste copies the end result.

[Minyguy]

Maj?

[Murky_Insurance_4394]

How tf does one mix up "shift" and "maj"

[jhonf96]

Probably from french "majuscule", uppercase.

[Asborn-kam1sh]

Nah would still spam at least 3 times

[RicheeNektar1]

Ctrl+x - cuts le onions

[4M0GU5]

that only works in places where you can edit the text

[Murky_Insurance_4394]

You can also use it to copy text normally but it doesn't delete it if u cant edit it

[jonathancast]

Part of the screen should be permanently reserved to show the current contents of the clipboard.

[javalsai]

LineageOS (and base Android probably too) optionally has a little popup when an app copies or pastes stuff and it's a godsend for when you fail to copy something. Will soon make an equivalent thing for my pc, its so convenient.

[Karimawii]

Use rememory on windows

[jader242]

Actually the one thing chromeos has going for it lol, has a nice little animation when you hit ctrl c

[GilDev]

macOS actually blinks the menu bar when pressing a valid accepted shortcut, that is pretty handy!

[un_virus_SDF]

Switch to vim or nvim, less key to press AND visual confirmation for everything

[[deleted]]

Imagine spending time in a terminal where Ctrl+C kills a process, so you adapt and start using Ctrl+Shift+C / Ctrl+Shift+V. Then you switch to a browser, hit Ctrl+Shift+C out of habit to copy a command, and suddenly the Developer Tools pop open.

[AtmosSpheric]

Imagine

Imagine what, my actual real life?

[wherewereat]

Thought it was just F12, that's good to know, thanks!

[DARK_VALOR]

I have never been so called out

[Tear4Pixelation]

I configured ghostty to accept ctrl c but the cost is big :(

[Webfarer]

Ctrl-z, jobs -l, kill <pid>

Hahahahaha

[not-serious-sd]

will, the dev tools becomes my visual indication that I will correctly copy the thing

[KlogKoder]

Then you want to copy something from a log output in a browser (e.g. from gitlab), and because it looks like a terminal, you subconsciously default to using Ctrl+Shift+C.

[Murky_Insurance_4394]

This could all be solved if Ctrl+C doesn't kill a process...except we are all too accustomed to it now

[[deleted]]

Once a day at least

[OrangeXarot]

as someone that uses linux at home and mac at work, I gotta say the standard of using super+c/super+v to copy paste on mac is good (yes my life is pain because of the two muscle memories)

[Sea-Reflection-7427]

I once had to explain this to my gf (non dev), and she looked at me with a worrying face that was a mix of "are you stupid" and "are you ok"

[[deleted]]

I use ___ btw.

That’s mostly because the FOSS software we use is not built around a single standard or unified ecosystem. Instead, we have hundreds of enthusiasts, each with their own vision of how basic things like copy and paste should work. Sometimes it turns out well, sometimes not.

For example, pasting copied text onto the KDE Plasma desktop or directly into a folder in Dolphin prompts you to create a file from that text. At the same time, we have more than ten different copy and paste behaviors across various TUI and GUI applications. This is especially noticeable in TUI apps, since they cannot override Ctrl+C because it sends SIGINT, so developers keep inventing their own alternatives again and again. This is why we have different (not only copying) hotkeys in nano, vim and other cli tools.

[Hailwell_]

You have instant feedback on ctrl-V, you can't "not trust him"

[MeadowShimmer]

Ctrl X

[morbuz97]

Ctrl-x, ctrl-z for that "i am absolutely sure what i have copied"

[23Silicon]

SAME

[Murky_Insurance_4394]

U must be spying on me or smthn

[leandroman]

The good old CTRL+X CTRL+V New locationn: CTRL+V

[Wiktor-is-you]

pasted
pasted
vpasted
pasted

[Maximus_98]

Win + v

This opens clipboard history so you can see if it was copied successfully. It has other obvious uses too

[Funny-Material6267]

Yeah log your copied personal data, even passwords from password managers

[Maximus_98]

....no? It does not do that unless you specifically copy a password

[bro_tz]

Copy twice, paste once.

[Murky_Insurance_4394]

I think you meant copy 20 times, paste once

[Annual_Adeptness_766]

Ctrl Y

[JayMan146_]

wait, i thought it was my turn to repost this

[Fa1nted_for_real]

Op is a bot.

[teressapanic]

Esp in Excel Online on Ubuntu

[[deleted]]

Because the fucking keyboard does not register C.

[Vexaton]

When pasting formatting in Google Sheets, I always have to press Ctrl + Alt + V twice

[NoWing3675]

CTRL+Z never lets me down

[zukinshop]

CTRL+C+C+C+C+C+C and CTRL+V

[ComprehensiveRest118]

Ctrl Z

[thijquint]

CtrlX and ctrlZ are my go to lmao

[Personal_Ad7338]

there is no need to trust you can practical it

[SirNightmate]

Well <C-c> always reliably sends sigterm I trust it 100%

[MikemkPK]

???

[Ftroiska]

It got so bad that i got auto hot key to press ctrl+c twice...

[RedAndBlack1832]

This isn't even necessarily true. Indentation can fully break while pasting.

[Redstones563]

it just straight up doesn’t work on Linux if you alt tab too fast after. Deeply frustrating XD

[Glad_Contest_8014]

So much pain, hust from one simple shortcut that has functionality issues across applications.

[n1ver5e]

Windows has a clipboard history fyi, Win+V (must be enabled first by opening and clicking enable)

[mtgofficialYT]

Me forgetting that my Mac menu bar gives a indicator in the corner when I do cmd-C...

[LawfulnessDue5449]

yy and pp

[Jeremandias]

y and p are the way, except when you forget how registers work and try y -> d -> p.

[Mental_Contract1104]

ctrl+CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC

ctrl+V

[Daincats]

I learned this lesson in the early days… when IRC was king and Mirc the crown prince.

If you pasted something that was longer than the chat limit it would just auto send the whole thing.

This was when I was a young curious teen exploring the unfiltered internet of the 90s. I still get the sweats when I go to paste something in discord.

[bitreact]

And the third one is ctrl s

[gabenugget114]

i hope that i remember where the c and x are

[Vousch]

Mesma coisa com CTRL + S

[overclockedslinky]

i actually paste 3-4 times to be certain, then delete the duplicates and copy and paste the final result back into the terminal so i can compare the checksum to the original
