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?
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
Only way to do it. everyone knows ctrl-c angers the terminal daemons.
CTRL+shift+[c/v], my beloved
See, I prefer middle click.
I prefer to keep my hand away from my mouse if possible. And I’m not even a vim user!

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.
Alt+F4 is for p|_|ssies. Alt+Space, X is the ergonomic way to go.
Super is for my window manager.
Which I guess is kind of where copy paste live so I’m on board, barring semantic nitpicks
Control commands are older than the shortcuts for cut copy paste though.
I got pretty used to CTRL-INS and Shift-INS for copy and paste. I don’t know if those even still work though.
yes, yes they do :)
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
That describes nearly everything in software, doesn’t it😅
Shift+ins
My man! 🤜 🤛
