I often cut + undo because seeing the cut is feedback which tells me the operation successfully put the content into clipboard. This is not always a guarantee especially in web apps, and sometimes I just have focus on the wrong window.
- jubilanti 2mo agoHave you used a clipboard manager? There are tons that you can configure with notifications and indicators, so you don't have to that.

- nkrisc 2mo agoHaving to install yet more software seems worse than the problem you’re suggesting it should solve.
- michaelmrose 2mo agoEven windows has this software out of the box because it is so obviously useful
- ashdksnndck 2mo agoAt least it would save you a keystroke every time, if it enables you to switch from cut+undo to copy.
- mjmsmith 2mo agoHow can you be sure that the undo stack is in sync with the clipboard? Wouldn't cut+paste be a more reliable pseudo-copy than cut+undo?
- TeMPOraL 2mo ago> How can you be sure that the undo stack is in sync with the clipboard? Simple: they're not meant to be. Undo stack and clipboard are orthogonal. It's like foundational rule of computing.
