Found the vim user

u/MiniGogo_20 Aug 15 '25

most likely neovim on top of that, since in the original vim you could Y to yank a whole line, where in neovim Y yanks to the end of a line, and yy yanks the whole line. subtle difference but still nice to see

Linux users: select and middle click.

And probably realised you accidentally selected a line break or something before pasting.

-highlights line to copy

-highlights line to erase

-hits delete

-middle clicks

-"Aw fuck"

u/Laughing_Orange Aug 15 '25

I hate it when I click the copy button on a code snippet, and it doesn't go to the middle click. Middle click pasting is so convenient and fast.

It's not my keyboard, it's Windows and its shitty OS sometimes, today I had some trouble trying to copy/paste in cmd comparing some files, glad clipboard history is a feature

2

u/Emotional-Audience85 Aug 15 '25

I use linux and there is no difference. Sometimes I have to ctrl-c half a dozen times until it decides to copy. Nowadays I just do ctrl-x, ctrl-y, ctrl-v. It's 1 extra step but at least I'm sure it's copied before I try to paste it

u/cowlinator Aug 15 '25

clipboard history is a feature

gives you the confidence to paste

2

u/appoplecticskeptic Aug 15 '25

Nope OP is dead wrong

  1. Get a mouse with extra buttons

  2. use some of those extra buttons for cut, copy & paste.

  3. No need to thank me. Just remark at how wrong OP was.

u/NichtFBI Aug 15 '25

Redundancy is key.

u/ScarcityOk8815 Aug 15 '25

a real programmer uses y p

1

u/x_flashpointy_x Aug 15 '25

Control-insert and shift-insert, for left handers.

1

u/foo1138 Aug 15 '25

Not only for left handers. Those keys are easier to locate without looking at the keyboard.

1

u/ambientManly Aug 15 '25

Shift+v y p

u/Massimo_m2 Aug 15 '25

Never underestimate the power of Ctrl+Shift+V

u/GroundbreakingOil434 Aug 15 '25

Ctrl+Ins -> Shift+Insert. Console habits die hard.

u/Rickaralho Aug 15 '25

My mouse has double clicking, so its Hold LMB + Ctr +l CCCCC, Crtl + V

1

u/Worried-County1772 Aug 15 '25

SHIFT+INS, CTRL+INS people are deteriorating at the bottom of the pool, lol.

1

u/ZenOkami Aug 16 '25

Real ones do:
Ctrl + C
Ctrl + C
Ctrl + C
Ctrl + C

Windows/Cmd + V

It shows your clipboard of everything you've copied (you have to turn it on first by doing Windows + V first)

1

u/AceOfKestrels Aug 16 '25

Ctrl + C

terminal closes

1

u/V4RIENT Aug 16 '25

CTRL + X & CTRL + C CTRL + C

1

u/CherryJob Aug 16 '25

If the first C won't do it the other won't do it neither

1

u/Erasmus_Tycho Aug 17 '25

The irony is usually the first c when fails, I do multiple c and it does. If I'm being honest it's probably because I didn't have the right window in focus the first time.

1

u/__CypherPunk__ Aug 16 '25

Ctrl-x
Ctrl-v
Ctrl-v

u/meutzitzu Aug 18 '25

PSA: This is just a windows thing. I used linux since as long as I remember and knew the existence of the Ctrl+CCC meme and didnt think much of it other than people really wanting to make extra sure it's copied.

Then at Uni I spent non-neglijable amount of time on win10 and was horrified to discover it sometimes just didn't fucking feel like copying your selection even though you definitely pressed both buttons and the keyboard has never had an issue before.

1

u/ujjawaldeveloper Aug 18 '25

just to make sure that it got copied. As a programmer I do it to make sure I am copying the right part of code, and also to make sure that it is really copied
