Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

Sometimes it's something simple like CTRL-C, then CTRL-V and the person watching you is like: wait how did you do that?!

Haha I remember someone at a front desk grumbling about how they couldn't find the clock, and without looking at their screen I asked them to press F11. The way they looked at me when that solved it was priceless.

You joke.

I had a hardcore boomer who worked mainframes - he was a mainframe wizard - refuse a redundancy payment (at age 60 - would have been a year plus wages). He was told if he didn't take it, he would be moved to a team elsewhere. He shows up in my team and I had to teach him how to do copy paste. Then the shortcuts blew his mind.

He still used a pen and paper to change passwords (kept a small pile of them on his desk, and none were labeled but that's another story).

You joke.

I highly doubt that was a joke. It is unsettlingly common among even those who use computers daily.

And then you absolutely blow their fucking mins with WIN+V

I've been a Linux user for so long. Clipboard history was a thing almost two decades before Windows got it. I don't think it is coded to Win+V though -- CTRL-ALT-V is what my muscle memory is telling me...

Middle mouse button paste is the bees knees though ;)

Well, depends on the clipboard manager or desktop environment what the default shortcut is. On KDE, it is Win+V.

Ctrl+alt+V for Linux? Which distro?

I just switched to Mint and have been trying to find a way to do clipboard history on mine lol

I presumed KDE Plasma. But there is so many variations among linux desktops and distros :)

I have to use Windows computers from time to time. It's so frustrating to middle click and nothing happens
