Wow, that's in the official docs? I do this all the time, but I always thought of it as a janky workaround.

  Almost all new legitimate uses of a GUI those days look like a workaround. Why is Edge and Chrome and Word and... stealing my windows titlebar ? Why can i not access the favorites menu with one click as it used to be ? Why do i need a big label which uses 30 % of the screen and does nothing ? Why everything looks like a label ?

    What's interesting to me, is that those that shape the platform guidelines (Google/Android, MS/Win, don't have apple so can't say) often are the worst offenders to completely disregard them. Just as an example, I've turned off auto updates on my phone and inspect each app update individually, but the google apps often just say "bug fixes and performance improvements". When that's the case, such general guidelines become useless. "If they don't follow them, then why should we?"

      Apple's HIGs are here: https://developer.apple.com/design/human-interface-guidelines/ https://developer.apple.com/design/human-interface-guideline...

        They don't really mean anything on desktop anymore seen as only a small minority of MacOS apps are built using those frameworks. Everything else is either Electron or custom cross platform UI frameworks like Adobe Suite, Alberton, Cinema4D etc.

        The HIG is just as applicable if you use Electron, even it might take more work to follow the guidelines if you don't use the system-provided widgets. That some choose to ignore the HIG and use the same GUI on multiple platforms is a problem, but it's not a problem that any guidelines can solve.

  If you want to be amazed on what can make it into official docs, I present to you the One Note doc page for Find and Replace [0]: In OneNote, you can use instant search to find specific text, and then replace it with different text using a keyboard shortcut. On a blank page, type the replacement text that you want to use. For example, if you’re trying to update a project name in your notes, type the new project name. Select the text you just typed, and then press Ctrl+C to copy it to the clipboard. Press Ctrl+E to expand the search box in the top right corner of the OneNote window. In the search box, type the text you want to find. At the bottom of the results list, click Pin Search Results, or press Alt+O. In the Search Results pane on the right side of your window, click the first search result (a text link next to a white page icon) to jump to the page where OneNote has highlighted the text it has found. On the page, double-click each highlighted occurrence of the text, and then press Ctrl+V to paste your replacement text over it. Repeat steps 6-7 for each additional page in the search results list.

    Couldn't the Notepad devs visit the One Note ones and tell them about Ctrl-H? :-))

      You see, Microsoft makes secure products, that's why they are not allowed to see each other.

      Hey, OneNote is supposed to be a stable product, you can't expect them to just go and import some random feature from a bleeding-edge experiment like Notepad!

How do I copy them in the clipboard?
- retSava 6y ago
  long-touch it, "copy". Was looking for a "copy to clipboard button" but saw none.

The irony is if OP had only used Google Map's parent product …
