Tips to Linux/Gnome users
Otto Kekäläinen
@ottokekalainen
Computer scientist who
invented copy and paste
(and cut) in 1974
There, thanks to his intense dislike of operation modes of the era (1970’s), he
conceived and implemented many graphical user interface (GUI) features taken for
granted today.
Tesler was very keen on "modeless" software, where a user would not have to, for
example, use a keyboard to switch to a command mode before switching back to edit
text (e.g. why vi or emacs are so hard to use). Tesler's vision was that [...] there
should be no "modes."
It is therefore unsurprising [...] that entering a mode was also not required for the
cut, copy and paste operations Tesler pioneered.
