For the 15th time today I've failed to copy some text in Xcode because because, as of Xcode 15, what used to be:
Right-click -> Copy
has now become:
Right-click -> Copy -> Copy
The former is standard on literally every other app I use on every platform, including macOS so I'm probably going to carry on making this mistake forever.
Could someone on the Xcode team please explain why this was thought to be a good idea?
Either that, or change it back?
Just to add to this, it's not even consistent on the same surface in Xcode.
For code it's:
Right-click -> Copy -> Copy
But if you want to copy the an error message or warning it's:
Right-click -> Copy
just like the rest of the world uses.
PLEASE FIX THIS
Agreed. Where was the HCI folks when this was decided? And tot just to complain but to help: As I have seen with other programs that offer specialized copy functionality, the menu should be
Copy Copy Special > ( your specialized menu here)
Not everyone uses the keyboard.
I agree. It's been a year or so since this was implemented and I'm still having to go back a re copy!! Very aggravating!! Be nice if there was a way to disable the menu feature.
💯%. This is a regression.
