I want to prevent Shift-delete from putting the selected stuff to the buffer - it overwrites what I already have in the clipboard, which is a problem, because I always use Ctrl+X for cutting and Shift+Delete only happens when I'm editing stuff and just want to delete it (shift remains pressed after selecting something).
For years, I wondered why my clipboard copied stuff were being randomly replaced by things I deleted, and I finally discovered it's because of this cursed key shortcut. – Leonardo Raele – 2020-01-07T00:47:15.007
2You could also use a (multi-)clipboard management program so that you can go back and select/restore earlier items. – Synetech – 2011-03-13T18:41:27.707
3I feel your pain, roddik. This bothers me so much. – Ronnie Overby – 2011-10-12T18:59:15.337
