Here’s one weird trick that will break the Internet.
In macOS, if you highlight text, you can then paste it using Shift + Command + “v”.
Kind of like X Windows middle button.
- eager_noob 4y agoIs this copy/paste with highlight available globally or limited only to terminals? I can do this with text highlighted in iterm. Highlighted text can be copied in other apps as well with Shift + Command + “v”. Or with terminal app, where the shortcut only works when used within terminal app itself.
- lesserknowndan 4y agoHmmm, seems like it is just within Terminal. It just so happens that is where I mostly use that functionality. In other situations, often Command + Shift + ‘v’ is paste without formatting (which I wish was the default!).
