You can use mouse to copy-paste via popup menu - this will save CTRL and C buttons. Joke. Seriously, I agree with you. First of all, there is no guarantee that code you found in responses:

  • works
  • is not outdated (e.g. works)
  • does not depend on something outside of scope (e.g. works)

Read documentation first - is the best solution. Personally I go on stackoverflow only for really narrow things, I could not find solution myself with docs (either by rare stack, either by lack of documentation itself)

Totally agree with you. I cannot see a problem by trying to find a solution on Stackoverflow. But we need to move forward and to understand that solution and fit it into our code.
