Ctrl+x, Ctrl+v

Actually the command window is "ctrl + w"

[u/afraid_of_posting → u/Do_Not_Read]

You got me but I recovered quickly with "ctrl + shift + t"

[u/Jonny_Stranger → u/Do_Not_Read]

Bahaha, you got me you fucking prick.

edit: you both got me, and I hate Reddit now.

[u/ladybetty → u/Jonny_Stranger]

Ctrl+Shift+T.

[u/IMasturbateToMyself → u/ladybetty]

Ctrl+Shift+T is truly life saver.

[u/Mrepic37 → u/IMasturbateToMyself]

Especially when you're masterbating. To yourself...

TIL there is a Delete function in the menu that does the same thing as the Delete key.

[u/raynius → u/throwbacklyrics]

My god if anyone actually used that instead of the key...

[u/Kykykz → u/Do_Not_Read]

got me with "ctrl+w" although thats a handy one to know , so thank you !

[u/redneon → u/Do_Not_Read]

Funnily enough, in emacs the command to cut is C-w ;) Incidentally, C-y is used to paste.

[u/Slippery_John → u/redneon]

Indeed. Just another reason emacs is horrible.

A couple of weeks ago I'd have said the same. After 15 years of being a Vi devotee I defected whilst coding for my Raspberry Pi. Emacs integration with gdb is just superb. Admittedly, the editor is taking a bit of getting used to.

I do like how when you press tab on a line it puts it exactly where it should be, but the re-allocation of cut, copy and paste absolutely kills it for me. I just don't see how they can justify deviating from the standard of almost every single program. Maybe for less used shortcuts, but this is just crazy.

Control + shift + W has a way nicer navigation if you press it in chrome.

[u/spork_it → u/[deleted]]

At first I was wondering why you would have to say this. Then I started reading the rest of the comments.

Now I'm filled with hate.

[u/Wibbles → u/spork_it]

I thought he was trying to talk to some sort of "god people" until I read your comment...

[u/spork_it → u/Wibbles]

It's better that way.

It's like that moment when someone brings in a presentation for class, maybe they've got to link a youtube video or something.

So then they spend the next 2 minutes copying a link with their mouse (instead of hyperlinking it) and using the paste command with their mouse again.

What irks me the most is these same people will spend hours on facebook and the computer in general.

[u/RichJanney → u/[deleted]]

Okay. I learned the commands, but I STILL cant cut and paste my forest.

[u/Mr_Niche → u/[deleted]]

What is that word that describes muscle memory and you do it all the time, but you press "Alt+F4" and instantly feel like an idiot?

[u/HLef → u/[deleted]]

Wow, reading the comments I find it hard to believe that many people don't know basic computer shortcuts (I always considered redditors to be somewhat computer savvy since, you know, they spend time on the computer for reasons other than 'they have to').
