I’m not judging, I’m genuinely curious whether anyone uses it. Because almost every text editor supports it yet when I use it, it’s just by accident and it messes up my document
I have done it a few times although now I usually do Ctrl c and backspace
ctrl + x is a gamechanger
Wait until you try ctrl + z
Wait until you try Vim motions.
I sometimes accidentally do this and then get angry that the feature exists
I use it occasionally when reorganizing code. It’s easier to just drag and drop blocks of code than to ctrl-x ctrl-v. I don’t do it for anything in the middle of a line though, because it seems too easy to make a mistake.
Me.
No but why did you take the spaces with it? Leave the spaces so when it moves you don’t have to add it back
A lot of times its too much trouble to fiddle with the highlighting to catch the right spaces, and then drop it in the right spot. Its easier to just grab it, drop it, then edit the spaces.
I use it a lot.
No. But who talks about this kind of thing?
I use it at work sometimes because our help desk randomly started crashing when I pasted into it from OneNote, but dragging the text from OD into the text box works for some reason.
Only within a web browser, generally to drag something from a page to the search bar
adults in computer classes/training use this all. the. time. I see it everyday
I do actually occasionally use it, sometimes it’s easier than Ctrl-X Ctrl-V
TIL
I thought this was a shit post at first because same
Frequently when I’m making lists and I am reorganizing the order.
Or I’m wiritng a recipe and get the directions in the wrong order.
Sometimes I’m writing an article and I move sentences around to improve the flow of the article.
I very often mark the word or text and drag and drop it to the top of the browser, so it starts instantl a search about this.
Way faster than using many extra steps
Geez, no. No, no, a thousand times no.
