I just discovered that VsDevCmd.bat turns echo off!

I remember there was this email client (in a text mode terminal) that didn't mask passwords. I have no recollection what it was called, this was about a century ago. People used to cover the screen with one hand to hide it as they typed. Everyone thought it hilarious, but this would've come in handy at the time.

I've used ECHO OFF in many a batch file during my DOS days.
Not only that, @ECHO OFF would also suppress the ECHO OFF command itself. It kept the output very clean...but ultimately (and this is probably what you're getting at) it doesn't belong in environments where you're debugging and want to see the output of everything.
But once I got my batch files going, they would all start that way. I don't know why I was so obsessed with keeping the output to a minimum. Probably because I wrote batch files to automate things for non-technical people, and seeing anything at all would cause panic among them.
I don't miss batch files. Despite its idiocratic syntax sins, I still like PowerShell.

n00bs: Copy & paste using your mouse
Average users: Ctrl + C & Ctrl + V
Pros: Ctrl + C C C C C C & Ctrl + V
I just found this and it's funny because it's true.
The few times I don't spam C is the times I have to go back and do it again 
|
|
|
|
|
Sometimes Pros: Ctrl + C instead of Ctrl + V
Very confident that they're pressing Ctrl + V.

This happens to me all the time, and then I curse the person that decided copy and paste shortcuts needed to be right next to each other.

Ugh, hate it when that happens.
That means you've got to go all the way back to whatever it was you were Cing

Does anyone remember Ctrl+Insert and Ctrl+Delete and Ctrl+Shift+Insert ? I came very late to the usage of Ctrl+X/C/V.
|
|
|
|
|
I have the same experience.
For a while there were many places that CTRL+C CTRL+V didn't work.
Linux terminal, for example still doesn't like CTRL+V paste.
However, CTRL+INSERT SHIFT+INSERT work there with no problem.
|
|
|
|
|
I use those all the time.
|
|
|
|
|
Yes; they still work, along with shift-delete for cut (instead of Ctrl-X).
|
|
|

I probably learned those combos before Ctrl-X/C/V and forgot all about them.
One habit I can't break out of (and should) is that I hold down the Shift key when deleting files from Explorer so they immediately get deleted, as opposed to being sent to the recycle bin.
And I regret the habit. It's extremely rare, but there have been a few occasions where I wished I could've just gone to the recycle bin to undo the delete. And no, Ctrl-Z can't undo a permanent file delete that was done with Shift-Del.
Fortunately I tend to have backups.

Ah, then I am not the only one.

Coming from DOS -> Win3.1 -> 95, I hated having stuff sent to the recycle bin, since whenever I saw the icon with papers in it, I had to obsessively follow up with the command to empty it. Every. Single. Time.
The instant I realized Shift bypassed the recycle bin, I immediately started using it.
Thanks, Windows 95. Can you believe that was nearly 30 years ago already?

OMG, I seriously thought I was the only one who took the habit of hitting Ctrl-C twice because every once in a while my first attempt seemed to get dropped...

Twice? Those are rookie numbers
