The other thing that has bothered me all these years:
Head down and typing,
Whoops, no text field selected.
Where did the text go?
While writing & editing code, and only while doing that, I have a tic that looks insane to onlookers. The last comment I received was “Why the hell are you tapping the caps-lock key non-stop?” I don’t know why I do it. It helps me think, though. Maybe any of the keys on the keyboard would satisfy my cravings to tap a key repeatedly, but I unconsciously chose capslock because it’s mostly benign to press. Perhaps it’s…
I'm happy someone has vocalized this same nagging feeling I have had for all these years. I just wish it had been addressed instead in the form of haiku. Maybe someone can try. The other thing that has bothered me all these years: Head down and typing, Whoops, no text field selected. Where did the text go?
Now a new feeling haunts me.
I must paste it, MUST.
I'm working on a clipboard manager, because I'm not happy with any of the ones currently available. Here are my design goals: - The system should be able to efficiently store, manipulate, and search an unlimited number of clipboard entries with reasonable performance. - The software should be cross-platform, and should have implementations for major desktop platforms (Windows, X11, Wayland, macOS). - Non-text data (i…
As someone who used to work with spreadsheets extensively at a bank, I can tell you that some kind of stack/queue functionality would be a godsend. For instance, in this mode you hit Ctrl+C five times, then the subsequent five Ctrl+V actions paste the data in FIFO order. It may not seem like much, but going in between app windows in order to grab data is a big time sink. Being able to copy items sequentially and then…
Would this work, or is there more to it?

Sounds like a sync plugin for CopyQ. https://hluk.github.io/CopyQ/ If I would guess, I would assume there is already one somewhere. If there isn't maybe just using Syncthing would be enough? https://syncthing.net/

A bit orthogonal, but here's my suggestion: In addition to: cut | copy | paste Add: swap It swaps the current selection with the contents of the clipboard (replacing the clipboard with the selection, replacing the section with the prior contents of the clipboard — a swap). It's a nerdy ask, if anything adds more complexity to the clipboard concept. But I have found myself having a need for this shortcut often. Maybe…
Unify your vim clipboard with the system clipboard, they said. The integration is wonderful, they said. Well: 1/ copy URL from browser 2/ alt tab to vim notes 3/ delete old URL from notes 4/ paste new URL but get the old URL instead?! How do I do the FORTH equivalent of swapping the two items on the top of the stack (and have a stack in the first place)? :)
This works even if I ssh into something.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Doesn’t dd delete the line under the cursor?
dd deletes the line under the cursor. "dd deletes something into the d register (the " is part of the command that selects the register). "d selects the register. The second d is the delete command. So you could do something like "dd2w to delete the next two words and save them into the d register. The same thing works with any named register, so a less confusing example might have been "cd2w to delete into the c reg…
I also really like junegunn/vim-peekaboo, which really helps if I know I copied something, but I'm not sure how far down the stack it is.
