I’m not judging, I’m genuinely curious whether anyone uses it. Because almost every text editor supports it yet when I use it, it’s just by accident and it messes up my document
diwkp
I use highlight/middle click paste a lot which I suppose is similar.
I do actually occasionally use it, sometimes it’s easier than Ctrl-X Ctrl-V
Maaaaybe if I’m moving whole paragraphs around? But even then I’d probably cut and paste
Geez, no. No, no, a thousand times no.
Is this using a PC? Maybe I would.
If this is from a smartphone… I wouldn’t I guess… I often prefer to retype than dealing with the select text feature… It seems I get the same experience in the most recent mobile OS that I had when I used my iPod Touch 4G a lot of years ago, why does it feel that this feature hasn’t even evolved? I can’t be the only one that feels it is terrible to use, I prefer to use the keyboard gestures than dealing with it.
Once in a blue moon? Not habitually though
nah
Ctrl x Ctrl v
TIL
I thought this was a shit post at first because same
Sometimes you can Ctrl+drag (which is copy) text to those annoying ‘repeat your email’ fields that won’t let you paste.
adults in computer classes/training use this all. the. time. I see it everyday
Only within a web browser, generally to drag something from a page to the search bar
I use it a lot.
No but why did you take the spaces with it? Leave the spaces so when it moves you don’t have to add it back
A lot of times its too much trouble to fiddle with the highlighting to catch the right spaces, and then drop it in the right spot. Its easier to just grab it, drop it, then edit the spaces.
Interesting. I’ll try it out!
