I was lucky enough to get a prerelease version of the new Stackexchange keyboard, but it makes it very hard to code. For example, it has taken me half an hour to type this question. Is there a better way than copy-pasting curly braces and other special characters?

  • I was really quite upset with SO for this new money-making formula and wanted to see other's reactions, so I googled it and then literally laughed at my foolishness :). Commented Apr 1, 2021 at 9:15

    Does this answer your question? Announcing "The Key™" - copy paste like you've never done before Commented Apr 1, 2021 at 9:31
  • @JeanneDark Not really, and my unused fingers start having adverse symptoms as well. I think I might buy seven additional keys to get them occupied. Commented Apr 1, 2021 at 9:35
  • I think you should be copying the entire code, not individual characters. Commented Apr 1, 2021 at 9:37
  • @user13145713 I have to admit it, it took me a moment to connect this new product to today's date. But the internet has become so crazy that there is little that surprises me anymore. Every day 4/1. Commented Apr 1, 2021 at 9:38
  • @VLAZ I think Stackexchange will soon nudge us towards the private conversation service, but thanks for the suggestion. My main problem is that the code exists only in my head. Perhaps there will be a solution for that next year. I may have to delay release until then. For now, over and out. Commented Apr 1, 2021 at 9:39
  • I love how everyone posting questions about The Key is posting them on the main site instead of Meta. This is about the third or fourth one I've seen. It's like an April Fools' joke inside an April Fools' joke. Commented Apr 1, 2021 at 10:07
  • @F1Krazy eh, in fairness, that's where the advert shows up. Commented Apr 1, 2021 at 10:09
  • that is one of most useless things in this world. for 40 ah it is the first of april Commented Apr 1, 2021 at 10:43
  • How could you actually get a prerelease version? Commented Apr 2, 2021 at 13:14
  • It was available for a limited time and limited number of users. Commented Apr 2, 2021 at 14:49
