Ctrl+V works on a console window!
Finally. How many freaking version of Windows did we have to go through for that to happen?
(Maybe it worked on W8 too, but I skipped that abortion.)

Well, at this rate, by the time we get to Windows 20 (I expect some more skipped versions) they'll have finally brought the system up to the level of DOS.
Not too shabby.
Well, actually, yes, it is.

What, DOS with it's wonderful clipboard support?

Does that author not know about "QuickEdit Mode" and copy/paste simply with the right-click?  Why does he go through such convoluted convulsions?  I've never heard of anyone doing that.

You still had to remove the extra line-breaks and spacing, though. The Ctrl+C support is much nicer.

Not always; pretty infrequently actually in my experience. Granted I have my window set full size with 270 characters across.
And why use the mouse to select and then switch to keys to copy/paste?
Of course, I remember having to use only keys for select/copy/paste on a VT420 (if I recall correctly) -- no mouse. That was still an improvement over earlier termini though.

W9 was an abortion. W8 was a bastard.

That's a great achievement indeed. Hopefully they will take care also of the remaining 98% stuff in order to get a proper console environment.

In every version of Windows going back to XP (don't know about prior versions) you can move the mouse cursor over the DOS window with text in the clipboard, right-click and select Paste and it inserts the text at the current command line cursor position.
I do admit though that I too wondered why a simple ctrl-v didn't work.

Yeah, which requires moving the mouse, right-clicking, and selecting paste, when a "don't take your hands off the keyboard, Ctrl+V" is so much easier.

Also ctrl-Enter is back for entering full screen (gone since XP).

Thanks, that's useful to know as it will eliminate all those cd commands.  I did notice that it can be made full screen now which is nice.

...well, it's actually two: Don't forget about the improved editor for environment variables (System properties > Advanced > Environment Variables) for things like PATH: It's no longer just an endless string and "oh, I forgot a semicolon there..."
PS: I'm not sure if this was in the initial release (10240), but it sure is in 10586.

CEFSharp[^]
The last time (a few years back) that I tried using it, Chromium and CEFSharp where horribly unstable, so I ditched my attempts and just used the .NET browser control.
Has it improved?

What are your opinions of taking online coding tests in relation to getting a new role?
Take them or not?
|

Most of the people taking them seem to end up in QA anyway, so you've probably done several dozen already...

The real question is surely whether you care to work for the sort of employer who thinks online coding tests are of value.
