Clipboard as backup
• 93 words • 1 min
Whenever I am submitting forms in the Web, I have the habit (tendency?) to keep
hitting Cmd-A Cmd-C every once in a while, with the goal of saving all the
text I’ve typed so far in a given text input field to the system clipboard.
This practice, when paired with a clipboard manager, acts as a backup mechanism.
This habit grew out of frustration: many times have I been frustrated because web pages would suddenly crash or reload, and everything I had typed thus far would have been lost.
Not any longer. ∎
