The amount of times I press ^P in Firefox to switch to another GNU screen tab… only to be greeted with the print dialogue…
@mirabilos
Sounds familiar! For me it's Ctrl+Shift+C to copy the selected text to the clipboard, which opens Web Inspector instead 😂
@mirabilos Ctrl+Shift+C is used in the terminal emulators that I use to copy the text selected with mount or other pointing device — there is a way to use the keyboard to select text, but I never do that. And without any context, Ctrl+C would interrupt the running program in most cases — so I'm usually really careful not to press that by accident. Well, in Firefox I have to, but after I've already opened the Web Inspector — every time! 🤣
@mirabilos
Other than Firefox I mostly use TUI software, which might have different shortcuts, but Ctrl+Shift+C works everywhere — muscle memory makes attempt to do that even in FF 🤷
@m0xee yah, other than Firefox and Mu͒seScore and occasiionally MPlayer, all I use runs in xterms…
@m0xee ah okay, I thought in a GUI application.
As for terminals, I just hold Shift pressed while selecting to copy to CLIPBOARD instead of PRIMARY, I’ve set this up myself. In xterm, Ctrl-C and Ctrl-Shift-C are the same thing. This is pretty nice, no extra “copying” step. (And Shift-Middleclick pastes from CLIPBOARD.)
@mirabilos
Neat trick! But it's something you should get used to, maybe I should try that myself 🤔
@m0xee first block in https://mbsd.evolvis.org/cvs.cgi/contrib/samples/dot.Xresources?rev=HEAD in case you’re interested.
@m0xee why Ctrl-Shift-C, not just Ctrl-C?
