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
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.
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.
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 😭
Always test your paste before pasting into the prod database.
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 triple tap that motherfucker.
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.
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.
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.
It’s not just me! I thought it was some weird quirk of my install or something.
