[ClearCase_guy]

So RIP In Peace to Larry Tesler

For Your FYI, that is redundant.

[gibsonguy]

What a huge contribution he made. As big as spell check. On the other hand the auto fill guy should be shot

This underplays his contribution to our situation today. He was all about modeless computing which meant you no longer had to get into a mode to do edits and so forth. Things were done inline.

He also lead the milestone tour of Xerox PARC for Steve Jobs and his team which planted the seeds for how Macintosh operated and seeds for what NeXT would do when Steve was exiled by Apple.

Tesler later moved to Apple as chief scientist. In the nineties he advised CEO Gil Amelio to choose NeXT over Be Inc when searching for a modern operating system to replace their failed projects at Apple. He infamously warned Gil whichever choice he made meant bringing someone in who would take his job. That lead to Steve Jobs’ return to Apple and consequently Mac OS X and the path to iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, etc.

Edit -> Paste and Match Style

Yasss!

-> HTML only.

Oh well...

[G Larry]

As someone who used to create Interface Control Documents by literal “cut & paste” from engineering copies, “My Hat’s Off to Larry”.

[GOPJ]

Every writer owes this man...

[Robert A Cook PE]

Now, how many remember “why” Tesler decided he could use Ctrl-X, Ctrl-C, and Ctrl-V, Ctrl-R, Ctrl-F and have those commands be so readily accepted by (now) billions of computer users?

Others, less commonly remembered:
Ctrl-Z Undo.
Ctrl-Y Repeat Last Commend
Ctrl-N New (message) in Outlook email
Ctrl-[End] Sends cursor to end
Ctrl-[Home] Sends cursor to front (or first)

Depending on the program, others are for formatting
Ctrl-I Italics
Ctrl-B Bold
Ctrl-+ Zoom in (make image bigger)
Ctrl— Zoom out (make image smaller)

Larry Tessler, Inventor of Cut, Copy, and Paste Dies. Tessler, while with Xerox Corporation’s Palo Alto’s Research Center (PARC) was instrumental in arranging Apple’s Steve Jobs’ visit which eventually resulted in the Apple Lisa and Apple Macintosh computers with their graphical user interface. Tessler later jumped from PARC to Apple. —PING!

Larry Tessler, Inventor of Cut, Copy, and Paste Dies
PING!

If you want on or off the Apple/Mac/iOS Ping List, Freepmail me.

a whole obit without one mention of jobs, apple or the mac

[z3n]

Useful commands, particular the keyboard shortcuts.
However, I think highest praise should go to the inventor of UNDO

[zeugma]

Since I'm a Unix guy, and 'vi' is my favorite editor, it's still yyp instead of ctrl-c,ctrl-v for me.

I'm amazed at the number of people today that don't know that you can use your keyboard to cut/copy/paste.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

"CTRL" -- What the HELL is that? It should be "command"...

[GOP Congress]

Nigeria should canonize Tesler.

RIP

John Knoll invented Photoshop. When he goes I will be skeptical about any photos released surrounding his demise.
