Can I have "throwing shit into fan" as a part of my job description?
So, you know, there is this old way of copy/pasting text in Xserver. Or to say that more precisely select/pasting. You draw the mouse holding the left button to select the text, then you paste it by clicking the middle button.
I do not know, if accidentally or purposefully, but they have disabled it at work. Which is a minor annoyance, because I can switch to keyboard shortcuts, or right clicking to get the context menu, and select from there.
But there are some applications (namely: gitk) not providing any shortcut for pasting. So, good luck manually typing the hash id from, for example, the git log output, to the search window in gitk. Yeah, I know, you can just type the beginning of the string, as long as it's unambiguous. But still.
Edit: self correct - gitk handles Ctrl-V key binding. So, at least it works.
So, I've just submitted a ticket to IT asking for that functionality to be restored.
