Use ctrl +shift +c to copy in terminal
Use ctrl +shift +c to copy in terminal
Ah yes the classic dangerous command made safe by a modifier key. Put the gun to your head and pull the trigger, just make sure you’re holding down the shift key and it’s all good!
Select text to copy. Middle click to paste.
Don’t use Ctrl…
To be fair, I would not expect someone using a wayland WM and urxvt to use the mouse to copy-paste.
It’s less that it’s broken and more that it hasn’t been implemented yet AFAIK.
I never realized that was why people used the primaey clipboard on Linux…
But I’ll be frank : fuck that. I’d rather disable it entirely and stop having to deal with random text pasting in bad places when I’m using the touchpad
It didn’t load completely at first, so i saw something like this and i think it is even better that way:
I’ve almost gotten into the habit of hitting Ctrl+Shift+C when I want to copy something because of that.
I do that all the time. Opens up developer tools on firefox if you do it.
That solution ish the worst. Ctrl-shift-c does a shitload of different things in different programs, and in browsers it does different things per page.
Ctrl-ins, shift-ins, shift-del for the win bit THEN some programs simply refuse to support that.
I have like 4 different copy paste short cuts because of this and it sucks
I’m not saying it’s great, but at least in my use I haven’t seen it being destructive/disruptive like Ctrl+C is.
Do you at least have 4 clipboards to go with them? Because I don’t think I could ever go back to a single clipboard.
I use standard Linux dual clipboard (Ctrl ins and just select, middle click) but most extra clipboards I’ve seen require a lot of extra clicking to get the work done. I want something simple stupid fast.
Kitty has the feature that if you have text selected it will copy and if not then it will interrupt the command
Yeah I love this feature. I love it so much that I’ll also tell everyone who cares to listen how you can use it.
Edit your ~/.config/kitty/kitty.conf file to include map ctrl+c copy_and_clear_or_interrupt and you are good to go.
Only issue I have that it doesn’t seem to work in the vscode terminal.
