Here's another old dog who just learned a new trick that would occasionally be useful.

The fox knows many things, but the hedgehog knows one big thing.Me too. I bet my dog is older than your dog :)
Paul Sanders. If I had more time, I would have written a shorter letter - Blaise Pascal. Some of my best work is in the undo buffer.

"Paste as plain text" How have I been a Windows (and probably works in other OS's as well?) for years and years and not know that keyboard shortcut? So useful, as I copy and paste stuff all the time. Not code! Things like a Teams message into an email, or vice versa, or quote that I'm citing in an essay, or something in Excel to an email, ... the list goes on. Well, I guess you can teach an old dog a new trick. :laugh:

I remember when CTRL-G made the PC beep, a relic from the days when teletypes ruled the world. I guess nobody told the designers of sound cards about backward compatibility.
Will Rogers never met me.

Old dogs Unite! Me too. I'll have to try this later on this morning. I wonder can you teach puppies too?
I doubt it. From my experience, 'puppies' would say "what is keyboard shortcut? I just right-click...." :| But Marc, thanks for that reminder of a shortcut I always forget about. I LOVE keyboard shortcuts - I had to especially learn them when first using Excel 2.1 on a runtime version of Windows with no mouse. :cool:

The "Bell" character. Back in my days of setting up DOS based POS machines, we used that code to pop the cash drawer.
Yep. When I last worked in Retail, we were still using it to trip the drawer latch. Computers don't beep like they used to, but most drawers have a little bell that sounds when they open. I believe the original use was to alert a teletype operator of a new incoming message. I just enjoyed using it to send to the boss' terminal to annoy him.
