Visual Studio 2013: Never Cut or Copy a Blank Line Again

  • Artikel

Ever cut something then accidentally cut a blank line?  I can't really think of a good reason to cur or copy a blank line and yet you are still allowed to do it. 

 

The good news is you can keep this from happening by simply going to Tools -> Options -> Text Editor -> All Languages -> General and deselecting the "Apply Cut or Copy commands to blank lines when there is no selection" checkbox:

Note: This will prevent using Shift+DEL to delete an empty line so you will have to enable the feature if you use Shift+DEL.

    Not sure why this is associated with VS 2013 while it is available in VS 2012 as well.

    Hey Arun :) I forgot to put in the disclaimer that these are older features. This particular one goes back at least to 2005 and possibly further. Z

    I really wish you could still use shift delete, but just not wipe the clipboard. I don't see why they have to go hand in hand.
