Ctrl + Shift + V
No more copying mystery garbage format, fonts, and colors from a different document. Why it isn’t standard to just copy raw data and a function to copy the format i will never know
It was. It used to just work. This is what they took from us, those monsters.
Ctrl+v < shift+ins
Copying doesn’t have visual feedback, which is the issue.
This is so true. It’s so simple and obvious. Therefore it’s gotta be the right answer
I’d rather cut/paste in old place/paste in new place to get that feedback!
Good old Ctrl+X Ctrl+Z, Ctrl+V.
I’m a Ctrl+X Ctrl+V, Ctrl+V kinda guy
NO! You’re doing it terribly wrong!! It’s Ctrl+X, Ctrl+V, and then Ctrl+V!!!
Ctrl+X, get distracted, Ctrl+V no output. Realisation. Suffering.
You can’t always though. Sometimes you are attempting to “cut” from an unchangeable source so you won’t get that feedback.
CTRL+CCCCCC, CTRL+V
For me it’s usually Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V, Ctrl+Z, Ctrl+Shift+V
Seriously, why would anyone ever want to paste with formatting?!
Ctrl+X, Ctrl+V. Cut gives the visual acknowledgement that copy has worked
If you’re copying from the same doc then you’d usually want to keep the formatting.
win+v is superior to ctrl+v.
Only for those who don’t hide their shame by disabling clipboard history. I have my reasons…
Windows 11 seems to just not work sometimes I swear. Control c that is. Control v always fucking works.
I see your problem there.
If Nvidia could figure out their shit on Wayland is be over on CachyOS for gaming but I just ran into to many crashes and such with my 4090
My complaint mostly comes from having to use windows 11 for work though. That I can’t control 😭
Here’s the kicker: I work in SolidWorks. I frequently use the measure tool and copy dimensions from an assembly to paste into a part sketch. It used to always work, but lately it hasn’t been reliable, pasting an empty string into the dimension entry instead. However, if I paste the copied text into Notepad first, then copy the text from Notepad, I can then paste it back into SolidWorks just fine.
try Ctrl+Shift+V
it pastes text without formatting
Amen to this. I have to use a Win machine for work and it’s absolutely bloody maddening. Ctrl-Shift-V always.
I’ll give that a go next time SolidWorks plays dumb. Right now it’s being nice.
Thanks for the tip!
I wonder if this is the change causing us all trouble. Did old control v do this?
Always test your paste before pasting into the prod database.
I’ve noticed that web browsers have been good at capturing
Ctrl+<char>sequences and passing them on to the right context.For example, if I have a terminal console open in a web browser (e.g. google code, or jupyter notebook), I notice that using Ctrl+C to kill a process does correctly pass through my desktop manager, through my web-browser, and to the console to kill the process. If I click just outside of the console window but still within the web-browser, then Ctrl-C acts like a normal copy command.
Not sure what my point is, other than it perpetually boggles my mind how many layers of software a key stroke has to pass through before it acts on the actual layer that you want.
Always triple tap that motherfucker.
sometimes I use ctrl+x to make sure
Windows 11 actually killed my trust in Ctrl+V.
Try control shift v. It’ll paste without the sources formatting. I’m thinking that is what is causing us all ire.
It’s not just me! I thought it was some weird quirk of my install or something.
Like in Excel… are you pasting values, numbers, formats, formulas, comments, the source theme…
Paste values
Ctrl shift v
Game changer
Yes!
I can see paste work, and the times it doesn’t are from copy shitting the bed.
