    This is how I learned about alt+drag and middle click in many common DEs.

        Excellent! If you can incorporate them into your workflow, you may find your efficiency mildly enhanced, as I did.

        In Windows, nothing. In Linux, if your DE supports it, you can hold down the Alt key and click anywhere to drag it, rather than using the title bar.

        For middle click pasting: normally, to copy and paste text, you’d have to use Ctrl+c,Ctrl+v (or equivalent methods). Again, if your setup supports it, instead you can just highlight text, then middle click elsewhere to paste the highlighted text.

          Oh I already knew about the alt one. I thought you were talking about IDEs lol. Was very sleep deprived when I read this the first time.

          I like the middle click one. I knew you could use it to paste, but not copy.

            When I made my comment, I was worried that “DE” would be interpreted as a typo … But not enough to expand it.
