Hi, fellow compulsive selectors! Thanks, I am no longer feeling alone!

  The hardest part is to remember not to do it when sharing screens...
  • viridian 1y ago
    I still do it, for emphasis. Never had anyone complain thus far.

  Glad also to feel justified at last!

  Me too! Developed this habit as a kid on a Mac IIcx in 1992. Hard to break.

  Me three, there are many dozens of us! Compulsive selecting while reading, and hitting CTRL+S every couple seconds while editing documents, are the two "weird" habits I couldn't kick for decades now. Most of the time, I'm not even conscious I'm doing those things; I only notice when the text isn't selectable or the program pops up a modal in response to CTRL+S.

    I am with you on CTRL+s whenever I am using ANY software that saves upon pressing CTRL+s.
