In other news, the new Google Drive for Windows also uses wxPython as its Desktop GUI framework (wxPython is a Python wrapper for wxWidgets, a cross platform UI C++ library). https://www.google.com/intl/en_au/drive

The final results: - Blazor is here to stay: 42.3% - An active community fork: 12.4% - A "life support" scenario: 13.8% - Use another framework now: 31.5% https://twitter.com/noseratio/status/14525982

I'd be happy if we migrated to Blazor and it lasted for 10 years. Kudos to AngularJS, which is still on LTS until the end of 2021. It might as well happen with Blazor, if it's kept further maintained as a part of .NET normal relea

Ask HN: If Blazor is abandoned by Microsoft, will it live as a community fork?

Maybe some styling tool similar to CSS exists in modern XAML/WinUI3? I must admit, I haven't followed that space much recently.

Thanks! I'm totally with you on Electron, as I've mentioned earlier in this thread. Ironically, Electron was turned down because the team didn't like the idea of coping with C++ (required for low-level custom add-ons). WebVie

Thanks for your thoughts! I've been mostly involved with Electron lately and I'm a believer in all-HTML UI. For this project though, Electron was ruled out.

Totally this, and not just for basic shell tasks but also as as scripting tool for CI/CD pipelines.

You'd also need a TURN server if both peers are behind NAT without UPnP, which is very common. STUN alone wouldn't be enough.

Win+E, then Alt+D could be an alternative, that will take you to the Windows Explorer address bar. In my app, Alt+Ins pops up a text editor (a-la Notepad) with the clipboard content already pasted.

I have an option in the app's tray menu to temporarily disable clipboard formatting stripping (with a timeout), for those rare cases when I actually need to paste rich text.

I was a PureText user for over a decade and I lately (with frequent Win10 updates) I was experiencing problems with some apps, like often I heard the beep but nothing was getting pasted. If it still works great for you, naturally there is n

Yep this usually works in browsers and Electron-based apps. Not a standard Windows hotkey.

I agree with you. I first tried to come up with a universal solution using SendInput API. This shortcut is still there: Win+Shift+Ins, and it works generally well but a tad slow. So eventually I opted to stripping formatting in-place in cli

I was using Notepad too for decades, and now I'm surprised of how quickly I got used to Ctrl+V simply working the way I always wanted it :)

by noseratio 6y ago
This is an interesting idea (if controlled by a setting). I'm afraid though there is no universal approach to implementing it, which would work across all apps.

Might be one of those legacy poor usability decisions. Still not easy for modern Microsoft to undo, hindered by compatibility concerns and internal bureaucracy. Same as the infamous "Terminate batch job (Y/N)?" prompt, upon h

Me too, plus PureText. The latter didn't always work for me, especially with the frequent Windows 10 updates lately. I know many people happily use Ditto Clipboard Manager, but I just wanted a simple app which I could quickly tweak as

On a side note, there is a related feature request for PowerToys, and my app is mentioned there: https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/issues/1684

There is an option in my app to disable the formatting stripping by default. Then Ctrl+V is back to do whatever it does by default, and Win+Shift+Ins can be used to paste unformatted text.

How do you deal with multi-line text, Notepad? :)
