Pretty sure most of you already know this but for those who don’t: you have two clipboards in Linux. One is the traditional clipboard where you copy with control c and paste with control v. The other one is when you highlight text and use the mouse middle click to paste text.
More details here.
Wait till you figure out that deleting stuff in the terminal (eg c-w) is saved in a separate pastebuffer too (c-y for yank, so yankbuffer?)
Yes and I hate it. Wish I could just turn off such nonsense.
I didn’t realize they were different. I always thought my copy failed and tried to use one copy with the other paste.
I knew and use this, but I never thought to call it two clipboards :)
Plus I’d never heard of shift-ins, I just used ctrl-shift-c/v in graphic terminals :P
This has been a thing for like ever. Throws me off a lot in Windows when I just want a temporary clipboard to search something and nothing comes up.
I think PowerShell abides by it, but that’s it.
