There is no feedback if CTRL+C was successful/unsuccessful

What if while taking a break from a legit coding sesh you jork it so hard some "goo" lands on your power button and your motherboard gets "aroused"? Then what?

continue as is. jork and motherboard arousal are correllated not causelated.

Maybe for you. But my goo always causes arousal. Just ask my gam gam

Some clipboard managers will give a notification whenever it changes what’s on your clipboard, but ik that gets annoying fast for some people. Wish there was a better solution

If you use a keybind to copy instead of highlighting and copying I like making the editor or IDE flash a highlight over the copied text momentarily.

Just gives you that confirmed feedback and makes such a difference to me.

I have KDE on my PC and my phone with the clipboard sync enabled. I code with my phone screen on so everytime I copy something, my phone will show a notification that something has been copied. Then, I'm sure that I can paste it.

Not true. If you’re copying from Teams you already know it isn’t going to copy what you want.

That's unfair. I'm sure both emacs and vi users hope that you get the mental help you so clearly need. ;)

I came from vi. So those are muscle memory at this point. But I like the emacs operating system.

For some reason VNC, which I use a lot, has issues with copy and paste. Something about Windows having two forms of clipboard? IDK. Anyway my muscle memory is now ctrl+c, ctrl+space (to launch Launchy), ctrl+v, ctrl+a ctrl+c, ctrl+space (close launchy).

Now hopefully the text is in the right clipboard to work in VNC. Maybe.
