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.
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
Me.
I use it a lot.
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
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.
Interesting. I’ll try it out!
I have used it once
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
I do actually occasionally use it, sometimes it’s easier than Ctrl-X Ctrl-V
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.
