Ok, I know I’ve whinged about Copy & Paste before. It just seems to have got worse. Maybe I am becoming more inept.
Though I have a dream. A dream whereby I can copy and paste the URL bar of my Firefox with:
- CTRL+L
- CTRL+C
- Alt+1 (switch to uxterm)
- Middle click into uxterm or shift+insert on keyboard
Instead of the nightmare right now:
- CTRL+L
- CTRL+C
- Alt+1 (switch to uxterm)
- Middle click into uxterm
- Wrong text! (if you are using vim and pasting a lot of text, hilarious consequences ensue)
- Undo damage
- Alt+2 (switch to firefox)
- Find correct tab
- CTRL+L
- Double click with LMB (i hate having to use the mouse here)
- Pray
- Double click with LMB again just to be sure
- Alt+1 (switch to uxterm)
- Middle click into uxterm
