Windows 10 has a bug (oh, you use a mac, must blame your fingers instead) - sometimes copying doesn't do anything, so you end up pasting the last thing from the clipboard, which could be rude!

I am trying to get used to control+option+1, 2, 3, for my past several
clipboards (I have a clipboard manager) but find it is easier to use the menu
in most cases. Who can remember what you copied and in what order? I do pin
the manager to the side of my screen if I am using it a lot so I can use the
hot keys.

I'm happy with a single copy! ;-)

Most of the time it is fine... but good to be able to quickly find things you
copied a bit ago. I have more clipboards than I can imagine using: 200. That
is their default and to change it you have to pay a few bucks for the "Pro"
version. Not worth it to me.

If you care, this is what I use: https://copyless.net

Or at the App Sto https://apps.apple.com/app/id993841014

All it would add is syncing between computers and changing the 200 up or down.

What I'd prefer is just the single copy key, but it keeps a history, so if I say "oh ****, I just overwrote the clipboard!" I can go back to a previous one.

The standard command+P to paste works fine and is what I generally use. Same
with C for copy.

Not if you command-C, get interrupted, command-C something else, then lose the first one. I've done that many times.

Except with a PC it's CTRL, which I remember my schoolfriend telling me it meant "computer tries to reload". This was in the days of the BBC 32KB computers.

I usually do a quick test post before I send in anger (as it were!)



I have been hitting the "send" button as my brain registers an error and
screams "NOOOOOOOO!"

On forums which allow editing, I get lazy and just send, then proofread and adjust it. Sometimes I make so many adjustments, and someone replies so quickly, that they reply to something I've no longer written, or miss out on more information I added.

I have done that.

How many have you been banned from? I've been silently censored on World Community Grid (one of those science projects). I could post and see my reply, but if I made a fake account and logged in, the posts were invisible. I found them out, sent a very rude email to the admins, and removed all my computers from their research. Censorship is wrong, end of story.
