I maintain a small business website with notepad. HTML in the raw.
There are plenty of consenting adults who would be happy to punch you in the genitals, why not just do that instead?
Oh god, I remember the days of creating webpages by hand-editing HTML in notepad. And not fondly.
I enjoyed it :(
I mean I’m not here to shit on anybody else’s good time, I just hated it myself.
You’d typically want Kate rather than KWrite, if you’re gonna do development. Basically the same editor, but with more power-user features.
“Ah, you think IDEs are your ally. But you merely adopted the lDE. I was born in Notepad, molded by it. I didn’t see syntax highlighting until I was already a man. By then, it was nothing to me but blinding!”
Someone asked me what IDE I use for python and I’m so dumb I didn’t even know what they meant. I just said whatever the fedora gnome text editor app is… who needs IDEs!
Real OG’s let their brains do the highlighting, like God intended
As a Mac user, in an LLM world, text editors are King.
I couldn’t do my job anymore without them.
So windows 11 sucks for a number of reasons, but one thing it doesn’t suck for is updating the notepad program to have autosave and being able to reopen last notes even if not saved to a file directly. Makes it actually usefull as a notepad
It does AI autocorrect to text though, which I’m not sure how I feel. It hasn’t ruined anything for me just yet, but they’re starting to try and make it automagical, which is exactly what I needed not to be.
Oh gross. I haven’t noticed that yet but will watch out for it
Not in the new one. It had one job and it does it badly now.
The new notepad is rage inducing
Get off notepad nightlies.
It’s that the one that wants me to use it’s AI editor?
lol too good
I fuckin love Notepad. No decorations, no flourish, just me and my raw thoughts
I was already done with windows, but if I hadn’t decided yet the AI in notepad definitely would have put me over the edge. That’s insane.
Yeah they just want to collect every single bit of data you have. AI is a data collection tool. A reason to send everything you type or use to their servers. I swapped to Linux fully over 4 years ago and my windows 10 install is still sitting on my older SSD drive. It’s a good reminder to format that thing and use it as a backup drive in my Unraid setup.
Ctrl + Shift + V pastes without formatting on Windows
Ctrl + Shift + V should paste without formatting, but for some reason Microsoft Office software (Outlook, Word, Publisher) refuses to follow this standard.
I’ve been on Windows since 3.0 and only recently learned that. Use it almost every day now.
Same, I’ve been using PCs with Microsoft operating systems since fuckin’ MS-DOS 3.2 and I only learned about it a couple years ago.
Can anyone confirm if that keeps Jira from doing that “uploading an image” thing when pasting text?
I don’t think it’s OS dependent.
Is there something like this for Mac users that have this stupid behavior ported over through the MS Office suite?
CMD + Shift + V
Sadly, doesn’t work everywhere. Sometimes, this is still necessary.
Funny enough, I’ve found Microsoft apps are the most inconsistent with this functionality
Yeah this doesn’t work anywhere in Office apps
Never in my entire life have I wanted to paste with formatting into a word doc, and you always have to click the stupid little clipboard icon after you paste to undo it.
Ctrl + Alt + V
Yes and after learning of the shortcut, it actually makes me angrier when I get formatted text.
Ctrl + Win + Alt + V works everywhere I’ve tried it.
Linux too, at least in most applications I’ve tried. Some will ask you when you ctrl+shift+v if you want to paste formatted or unformatted text.
Super + R.
I just paste and then copy whatever i need into the address bar of any browser and its good to go. Unless its very long.
There is a good chance that whatever you are pasting is being sent to Google.
I use Firefox with DuckDuckGo. But I do agree that Google is so pervasive in the browser space that pasting text to the URL bar without further context can be reasonably understood in most instances, as sending data to Google.
Im using safari and more recently opera, but since that is chinese now, im guessing this isnt much better :D
Huge chance. No question.

Is this something I’m too markdown/LaTeX pilled to understand?
You copy some text from a webpage and put it in your email or word processor, it copies the formating too and everything looks wonky. If you paste the clipboard content in a text editor, like notepad and copy the text from there, you strip the formating.
That is what the post is refering to.
You copy some text from a webpage and put it in your markdown/LaTeX document in your text editor, like vim. Then you use pandoc/pdf-latex to export in whatever file format you need. It never looks wonky, it looks exactly like you tell it to.
Join the club pal
This is literally my primary use of notepad.
ctrl+shift+v removes all formatting when you paste. You’re welcome.
Some apps (e.g. Microsoft Word) override ctrl+shift+v.
That’s… extraordinarily stupid. Sounds like you need better word processing software.
it is windows btw
