GExperts: Copy or Cut the Identifier or Line with Ctrl+C and Ctrl+X
A feature request that has been open since 2019 (#91 One Key Cut/Copy) asked for something the long dead CodeRush for Delphi (archive.org) used to offer: with nothing selected, Ctrl+C copies the identifier at the cursor and Ctrl+X cuts it. GExperts can do that now, and it can also do what Visual Studio does, copying … Continue reading GExperts: Copy or Cut the Identifier or Line with Ctrl+C and Ctrl+X

Sharing data between WSL and Windows
The default way of sharing data between Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) is mounting Windows directories inside WSL. This works, but is rather slow. There is a different way: Mount a WSL file system under windows.
