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

      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).

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

      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.

        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.

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