It's really useful when you have to paste many things repeatedly in a way that has some spatial ordering. But most of the time I dislike middle-click paste (and highlight-to-copy) because I will occasionally copy and paste things accidentally. Some kind of keyboard shortcut to toggle this behavior might be quite handy.
- m_mueller 13y agoI recommend using something like Sublimes Multicursor instead. 1) Ctrl-alt-L: Give me a cursor at the end of all selected lines. 2) Select the line paces you want to paste using normal editor keyboard commands. 3) Ctrl-C 4) Go to the place in your lines where you want to paste (or click somewhere to get a new cursor and paste everything newline separated) 5) Ctrl-V Scales to however many lines you want to do this to, with 'constant programmer time' ;-).
