            I prefer to keep my hand away from my mouse if possible. And I’m not even a vim user!

              Same! Well, about the mouse. I am definitely a vi (and all its variants) user.

              However, for transferring text between windows, the mouse is probably the best option. It’s not necessarily needed for highlighting, but definitely beneficial. If you don’t like ctrl+shift+v or middle click, shift+insert often works?

          Such an annoying kludge to make a common operation work.

            My hot take: cross-application or system-wide shortcuts like copy/paste should all be controlled with the Super/Meta key. Looking hard at you, alt-F4.

            App developers, you get your pick of Shift, Ctrl, and Alt modifiers. Super/Meta is for the OS only.

              Super is for my window manager.

              Which I guess is kind of where copy paste live so I’m on board, barring semantic nitpicks

            Personally, I think it was quite rude of all of those applications to make the standard “break” command mean “copy.”

            I guess I’m so used to it at this point that I just add the shift automatically and don’t really consider it annoying

            Such an annoying kludge to make a common operation work.

            That describes nearly everything in software, doesn’t it😅

          One of the things I always setup is a pbpaste & pbcopy function to mirror Marcos’s. I know that’s not what the meme is about but pbpaste > /tmp/filename.json is too handy

      What season is that still from? I can’t remember if I’ve seen it or not but I only saw about 3 seasons.
