Everyone seems to use CTRL, C and V for copy and paste, but for as long as I can remember I've used CNTRL-INSERT and SHIFT-INSERT respectively for these operations. Anyone else?

Yes, I am old school too. Picked up when I was programming QuickBasic, PDS 7.1 and VB DOS back around the late 80s early 90s.
I use both Copy and Paste keysets now though.Never has a man been heard to say on his death bed that he wishes he'd spent more time in the office. -
I usually use ctrl-x,c,v on windows but ctrl-insert shift-insert works on some (most?) linux terminals so I use that sometimes as well.While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'Comment

Ctrl + C,V can be used one handed whilst still using the mouse in right hand.Originally posted by TimberWolf View PostCoffee's for closersComment

When you look at someone like AtW who uses the other approach & copies & posts everything on CUK you're able to calculate that he's wasted an extra 3 years of his life so far using that method.What happens in General, stays in General.You know what they say about assumptions!Comment

On the other hand AtW would never be able to learn the 'new way' of CTRL+C/V/X.Originally posted by MarillionFan View PostOriginally posted by MaryPoppinsOriginally posted by vetranComment

CTRL-INS, SHIFT-INS, SHIFT-DEL can be used one-handed whilst still using the mouse in the LEFT hand.Originally posted by Spacecadet View Post
Being left-handed Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V, Ctrl-X is so painful to use I only ever do it when really necessary ... like when applications are badly written and do not support CTRL-INS, SHIFT-INS, SHIFT-DEL very well.
It seems to me that BOTH methods need to be kept around for good so everyone is happy.Comment

I never suggested that either method should be discarded. I was simply pointing out a possible reason why ctrl+C,V is more popular than the alternative methodOriginally posted by WotNxt View PostCoffee's for closersComment
