Disabled by default, but available because it is such, like once, you know, every nerd in the world has gone to multiple clipboards for like a decade now, right? And it is a nerd feature. But at this point, I feel like, kind of like the second mouse button, it's like, it's so important. Every OS needs to have second mouse button support built in and also multiple clipboard support built in.

You can disable it by default so not to confuse people, but it's got to be there. But the danger for people like us is, okay, but we all got our favorite third-party clipboard managers that we've been using for a decade. Now the question is, do I keep using my third-party one or do I switch to the system one?

Now the question is, do I keep using my third-party one or do I switch to the system one?

Switching to the system one is like, oh, it's one fewer thing I have to worry about installing or whatever, but it surely will work differently than whatever third-party one we're using. And we've got all our muscle memory problem. And it's not like Apple's going to make it infinitely configurable. So Apple, please add multiple clipboard support to every single OS you make.

but please also do not disable the ability for us to use our third-party ones. You probably need some accessibility permission that requires 17 dialogues and you have to read them every week.

Yeah, Raycast is one of the fancy new launchers.

Yeah, it really is the thing about the shell thing because it's like, just to give one example, one of the things I use Quicksilver for is mounting volumes. because the finder sucks so bad that mounting them through the finder is like pulling teeth. But if I can hit command space and type two letters and it returned, it's so much faster.

When you change shells, one of the things you have to quote-unquote port is, oh, I probably built up many aliases that I use in my shell. And the aliases themselves are fine. It's just something you type and a different thing happens. But if you have complicated aliases, porting those aliases to a new shell...

at minimum requires you learning the syntax to declare an alias in the shelf it's different than yours but you might also have to quote things differently to capture arguments or the second argument here or whatever or which things need to be escaped with double backslash versus single back like stuff like that makes me think about what i had to do with alfred to do the simple thing which alfred is 100 capable of but how long did it take me to figure out how to make alfred

mount a volume, a password-protected volume in response to a keyboard sequence, and it took me an embarrassingly long time. So yeah, like that. I mean, again, I'm saved by the fact that I don't do much with Quicksilver, so I didn't have to port too many things. But if I had to port all my aliases, and honestly, I don't even like other shells that much either. But anyway, just do not use TC.

Don't let your children use TCSH. Let them use Bash or Phish or ZSH or something more modern. But it seems like at this point, I'm just going to die using TCSH.
