...and don't forget that CTRL+SHIFT+V will cycle through everything you've copied. So you'll still be able to paste in that thing you copied a few copies ago!!?? :-D

Thank you very, very, veyr, very much.

You really can't believe how much this behaviour (which is inconsistent with about every other Windows Application) has annoyed me since VS.NET 2002.

These have all been great, but this one just saved me at least 20 minutes a day.

Keep it up, please.

Wow! You have no idea how frustrated I used to get by that behaviour!

Keep up the good work and keep the tips coming.

Mucho gracias! That has been one of the annoying "features" of VS for a long time. Drives me nuts each time it happens. Glad to see that it can be turned off.

Too bad I use Control+X to clear empty lines for formatting purposes. They really should differentiate between Cut and Copy.

THANK you so much for this.

I'm quite surprised to hear that so many people don't like the default behaviour - personally I use that behaviour probably as often as the "normal" selection copy/cut behaviour. I love it. :)

You could use a utility like <a href="http://mattcasto.blogspot.com/2007/01/clipboard-recorder.html">Clipboard Recorder</a> and never worry about losing what's currently in your clipboard again. It's very liberating to just copy a few lines of code you know you'll need later and forget about it.

Neat VS 2005 tip.

I have done this a few times in the past as well. Typing Ctrl + C instead of Ctrl + V on a blank line

Use Shift-delete instead!

Visual Studio 2008 ワンポイント — Mon, 16 Jun 2008 08:15:43 GMT

私はなぜか、空白行で Ctrl + V キーの代わりに Ctrl + C キーを押してしまうことが多いのです。理由はわかりません。その結果、空白行がコピーされ、私がそこに貼り付けようとしていたテキストは消えてしまいます。

Иногда что-то заставляет меня нажимать Ctrl+C вместо Ctrl+V, находясь на пустой строке. Не могу понять
