I highly recommend getting a clipboard manager! They keep a (usually configurable) history of your most recent clipboard items and allow switching the active selection between them.

Surely. First time I used clipboard management was long time ago somewhen in windows xp era. But growing older make me not really incentivized on trying myself to relearn clipboard history gestures. I might do that someday though.

The difference is now I know git and text editor with hot-save support; with mostly textual clipboard, the texts usually just land in either git/editor.

So far the alternatives to capricious developer choices are:

- Draw Chinese characters into a translator

- Just have every website support every language ever

- Install cliboard manager software to handle the fact you don’t always want to copy

Gotta love HN.

It's frustrating that sharing workarounds in good faith attracts drive-by snark like this comment.
