Shift + control + V makes this bot obsolete

It doesn't work in all apps.

For those instances, I paste + cut in my browsers url bar (unless multiline, then notepad)

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 month ago (3 children)

I hit Win+R and use the run dialogue text bar.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 month ago

You also get to try running it in case it does something fun on your system.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

Glad to hear I'm not the only person abusing that run dialogue box.

For regular users the url bar is sent to Google. Be sure to disable that before making it a habbit.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Exactly. Why open another app?

You're the only program that loads quickly enough on my pile of junk machine to write down my impulsive ADHD ideas before I forget them so I can forget to read them later

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago (3 children)

have you considered a notebook next to your keyboard, so you can jot down those ADHD ideas in a pinch?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago (3 children)

adhd ideas are fast, too fast for handwriting. sometimes even typing is barely fast enough

one day when we invent thought -> text machine neurotypicals will finally be able to see the speed of an adhd brain that "just had a great idea", and they shall wonder how can our brains be so fast, but seemingly never when they should

Typing hurts my wrist less than physically writing it down

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

The pain is what sears anything I hand write down into my brain.

CTRL + SHIFT + V in Windows pastes without formatting

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Depends on the app, it’s not a “windows” thing.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

If you install Power Toys, you can set a key sequence to paste in anything like this.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

Power Toys FTW!

It depends on how the app you were using was written. If it was written correctly, it'll work, if not, blame the company that made it (especially when it's Microsoft themselves!).

Power Toys has a feature that will force it to work in every app, I highly recommend it! There's all sorts of helpful features in Power Toys.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

+1 for PowerToys, lots of good features

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

I do this all the time in Fedora.

I love it too, but it takes longer to open, and wants to update its self every time I open it. If I just want a plain text editor I still use plain notepad. I save ++ for when I need some special features.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

notepad++ doesn't nag me about updates all the time. I open mine very frequently to manage my onetab tabs

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

SO much better.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Before even typing "notepad" after hitting Win+R, I realised I could just paste my text directly into the run dialog and re-copy it.

For apps that support it. Not even the whole Microsoft suite does.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Shit not even that anymore, now that M$ wants to monetize it, too.

Notepad++ is the go-to tool I have been using since finding out about it a long ass time ago.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

I prefer Sublime Text

Nah, I use it a lot for editing .ini files for games.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Try Notepad++, its free, open source, and well worth the minimal effort to download and install.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

NP++ is great but sometimes you want something even more minimal... I for example hate NP++'s icon toolbar and it's cluttered menu bar and would never use it even though I acknowledge that it's a great tool (just not for me).

Classic notepad.exe with basic syntax highlighting would be amazing...

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago

copying format should be the thing that takes an extra keystroke, not pasting without it

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago

Heeey Notepad has Copilot included now! I wonder why they ruin the app.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

Watch microsoft "update" notepad to ruin this feature..

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (2 children)

@cm0002 OMG that is what I use it for on windows at work.
Who the hell decided the formatting should be part of the copy anyhow.
