Shift + control + V makes this bot obsolete

[–] [email protected] 61 points 2 weeks 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)

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

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 weeks ago

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

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

Does that maintain paragraph breaks?

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] 10 points 2 weeks 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 2 weeks 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 2 weeks ago

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

CTRL + SHIFT + V in Windows pastes without formatting

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago

Power Toys FTW!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks 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 4 points 2 weeks ago

+1 for PowerToys, lots of good features

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks 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 2 weeks 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 2 weeks ago

SO much better.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 weeks ago

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

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 weeks 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.

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] 3 points 2 weeks ago

I prefer Sublime Text

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Only the ai bullshit costs money, which you can turn off. Other than that notepad is still free. So nothing really changed.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] sockenklaus 3 points 2 weeks 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] 11 points 2 weeks ago

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

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 weeks ago

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks 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.
