          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

            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?

            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.

            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😅

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