I was going to say why is that even there, but it reminded me of a very useful macOS tip:

You can access all the menu bar items that don’t have hot keys without leaving the keyboard.

Command+shift+question mark opens the help menu search bar and you can type in ANY menu bar item by name and press enter to do it. It will also show any keyboard shortcuts.

Ctrl+F2 selects the menu bar so you can use arrow keys, but that’s slower.

As an avid vim/terminal user, macOS accessibility shortcuts are friggen amazing.

Now I can't stop picturing a nightmare scenario of having to watch someone do their copy/paste purely from the keyboard, but using the menus via that trick, rather than using the hotkeys. Thanks for that.

I wouldn't have to paste via menu if "paste without formatting" didn't require the fingers of a pianist.

Isn’t there a ctr+shift+v equivalent?

[-] KoboldCoterie@pawb.social 1 points 4 months ago

Paste Without Formatting exists on the right-click context menu almost everywhere. I don't consider context menu usage to be annoying (to observe someone using) at all, personally.

But why use mouse when keyboard works?

[-] KoboldCoterie@pawb.social 1 points 4 months ago

Personally I find CTRL+SHIFT+V rather uncomfortable to press, not to mention it requires moving your whole hand down the keyboard, whereas CTRL+V doesn't. A quick rightclick -> Paste Without Formatting is quick enough to do.

Ooooh thanks! I’ll use that a lot.

Oh that sounds really nice. I'm personally extremely annoyed that their shortcuts differ wildly from Windows and Linux shortcuts but at least this thing is some consolation.
