Ditto. And I pride myself on using shortcuts!

I remember when it was Shift-Insert to paste. Which still works.
Jack of all trades, master of none, though often times better than master of one.

Hmm, just tried that in Outlook and it preserves the formatting.
|
|

Outlook is an Office product, so it is - of course - totally compatible with all other Office products.
Except Excel. Oh, and PowerPoint. And Word, and probably OneNote.

I remember when CTRL-G made the PC beep, a relic from the days when teletypes ruled the world. I guess nobody told the designers of sound cards about backward compatibility.

The "Bell" character. Back in my days of setting up DOS based POS machines, we used that code to pop the cash drawer.
|
|

|

Yep. When I last worked in Retail, we were still using it to trip the drawer latch. Computers don't beep like they used to, but most drawers have a little bell that sounds when they open. I believe the original use was to alert a teletype operator of a new incoming message. I just enjoyed using it to send to the boss' terminal to annoy him.

You have to send it to the stdout for the beep.
I used to add that to long batch files to alert me at certain steps like:
“Insert next floppy”

Old dogs Unite! Me too. I'll have to try this later on this morning.
I wonder can you teach puppies too?

Judging by QA, "No."

I doubt it. From my experience, 'puppies' would say "what is keyboard shortcut? I just right-click...."
But Marc, thanks for that reminder of a shortcut I always forget about. I LOVE keyboard shortcuts - I had to especially learn them when first using Excel 2.1 on a runtime version of Windows with no mouse.

Hmmm...I have Wordpad open, with some text that contains bolded items. Ctrl-C to copy, open a new instance of Wordpad, Ctrl-Shift-V to paste as plain text...nope, the formatting is still there.
What are you copying from, and to?
|
|
|
|
|
It does not work in everything. Hell, Word doesn't support it and you'd think that it should!
|
|
|
|

I'd rather not have known instead of being made aware that I have been ignoring something so useful all these years. Ignorance is a bliss...

Quote: This opens the Run dialog, pastes the clipboard into the edit box, then copies the text back out. Ok, that is seriously weird (like his other Ctrl+F solution) - to open something with an edit box. Good grief.

Middle click opens a new tab on most links in every good browser.

I’m still getting over WIN+V paste history.
|
|
|
|
|
I have long used plain notepad for that, format free and no special chars used by scammers (like the russian letter that looks like an "a").
Then came MS and screw it up...
M.D.V.
If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Windows key + V will give you a history of things to paste. I found this very useful in the age of VSCode or 'Find is this only tooling that works'

30 years MS dumbs go to this idea.

ETA: ope! I missed the shift part in your OP. Now I get it. :facepalm:
Wow. How have you even coded at all without ^c ^v and ^x? Do you know about ^f? ^h?
Welcome to speed-pasting

Hot diggity! I didn't know that one either.
Us old dogs need to stick together Marc; it's the only way to keep the young pups at bay.
