Anyone else habitually copy and paste messages before submitting them?

Problem I'm running into now is that I get mad at my wife when she loses something she typed.

I'm all like "DIDNT YOU COPY IT FIRST!?"

Then she's all like "WHO DOES THAT??"
 


When a page times out and I close the damn tab due to anger and in the next second I realize that I lost the damn porn hub video I can't find it back to jack off.
 
What's the added value of pasting in Notepad before hitting Submit? Waste of time. I just Ctrl + A, Ctrl + C, then hit Submit. If shit goes south, I hit back and paste my shit. That notepad step is unnecessary IMHO, unless you just wrote a fucking novel that you are so proud of that you're paranoid factor 67.

Productive day today, only 12 notepads open. Record around 50.

I tend to save them now even though i will never read 95% of them again. Worst thing that can happen is a forced Windows update with dozens of Untitled Notepads open. I have a folder with hundreds of ideas / copy pasta stuff in txt files. There is treasure in there among a lot of crap called domains-todo5.txt, filtersql.txt, sitenotes.txt etc.

Does anyone use notepad to "clean" html rich text before pasting into something else (gmail , excel, word etc.)? Just me?

Always always always. Lost too many long posts and other things.
Just use your keyboard, it's the shortest way. You're already typing, so just make your last keystrokes be Ctrl+A then Ctrl+C

-edit-
yep, I use Notepad to clean formatting out too ;) Or if it's short, just use your URL bar

I just select all, copy, submit, and if I lost the post I log in and hit paste.



Glad I'm not the only one with text files like that :) Drives me crazy, I'm trying hard not to save files like that any more.



All the time :)

Whoa man. You could really benefit from Notepad++. Trust me.

Notepad++ v6.2 - Current Version
 
Same as MSTeacher. I just select and copy then submit. No pasting to be done unless it is necessary. Fuck all dem notepads. It definitely is a habit, thank gawd.

Edit: of course it does depend to some degree on the length and importance of the message. For instance, I copied none of this post.
 
If I have a password or sensitive data in my clipboard, after I paste it I immediately grab a few random bits from a url in a tab and copy that to the clipboard.
 
Definitely for longer posts; I don't bother with short posts.

Outlook likes to crash on a somewhat regular basis, so I often copy and paste my long Outlook emails.
 
Shit ya. Learned that lesson the hard way one too many times. Still get burned by it sometimes.
