Shift + control + V makes this bot obsolete

[–] Shadow@lemmy.ca 61 points 2 years ago (3 children)

It doesn't work in all apps.

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

[–] saltesc@lemmy.world 15 points 2 years ago (3 children)

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

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 19 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Tash@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

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

[–] chemical_cutthroat@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Does that maintain paragraph breaks?

[–] seeigel@feddit.org 2 points 2 years ago

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

[–] smuuthbrane@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 years 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

[–] DmMacniel@feddit.org 10 points 2 years ago (3 children)

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

[–] shneancy@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years 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

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 7 points 2 years ago

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

[–] gAlienLifeform@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I have, but I also have a touch of dysgraphia, so my handwriting is serviceable but really slow (like, the 2d spatial relation skills of being able to keep the different bits of letters proportioned to each other takes active concentration for me), whereas I can use keyboard without thinking about it

Incidentally, the fact that cursive was a graded subject for me in elementary school that almost led to me getting held back a grade probably played a big part in who I grew up to be (i.e. someone who usually doesn't like authority figures but does like misfits and outcasts)

[–] Goretantath@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago

Notepad++ for me since opening the files i need to in regular notepad freezes the fucker xd

CTRL + SHIFT + V in Windows pastes without formatting

[–] Hawke@lemmy.world 18 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] FartsWithAnAccent@fedia.io 5 points 2 years ago

Power Toys FTW!

[–] Evotech@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[–] FartsWithAnAccent@fedia.io 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Jakeroxs@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 years ago

+1 for PowerToys, lots of good features

[–] tonyn@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 years ago

I do this all the time in Fedora.

[–] ThatGuyNamedZeus@feddit.org 19 points 2 years ago (2 children)
[–] BradleyUffner@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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.

[–] ThatGuyNamedZeus@feddit.org 3 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Agrivar@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

SO much better.

[–] pHr34kY@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years 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.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 14 points 2 years 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.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I prefer Sublime Text

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

[–] Test_Tickles@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] sockenklaus@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 years 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...

[–] Adiemus@lemm.ee 10 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Goretantath@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago

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

[–] RueNahcMohr@infosec.exchange 3 points 2 years 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.
