Visual Studio Clipboard Ring Using Ctrl + Shift + V

Visual studio clipboard ring

For those developers out there familiar with Visual Studio IDE, many of you must be aware of this Clipboard Ring functionality provided by the Visual Studio. But if you have no idea here's some information about it.

What Is Clipboard Ring?

Visual Studio provides a unique feature to capture all your text related Cut/Copy operations to Clipboard. Then while using Paste you can iterate through those Cut/Copied values. The maximum number of values that it can store is 15.

How To Use It?

  1. You can simply Cut/Copy text using Ctrl+X/Ctrl+C
  2. Visual Studio will keep on collecting those text values. 
  3. While pasting instead of using Ctrl+V, you need to use Ctrl+Shift+V. 
  4. The values will iterate when you press this key combination again and again. While doing this the pasted value will keep on changing in a manner which they were recorded
  5. For Ex: You copied a text 'Test1', then you copied a text 'Test2' and then again 'Test3'. Now when you press CTRL+Shift+V again and again then the pasted value will change from 'Test3' to 'Test2' to 'Test1' then back to 'Test3' just like a ring.

Another Way To Use It

You can select a text and drag it to toolbox window and drop it. Now do it again for different texts.
These values can be used by double clicking the text from the toolbox. This is much easier trick to do when you need to paste different text quickly at different places. See below screenshots to understand it more.

Polymorphism in Kotlin With Example

Image
Polymorphism is one of the most important topics in Object-Oriented Programming. It goes hand in hand with Inheritance . Poly means many and morph means forms i.e. the same method behaves differently based on the object. Here we have different forms of the method that exhibits different behavior based on the object. To define Polymorphism in simple words - A parent can hold a reference to its child and can call methods which are provided by the parent class. Let's understand this with an example -  fun main() { val circle : Shape = Circle(4.0) val square : Shape = Square(4.0) } open class Shape{ open fun area() :Double{ return 0.0 } } class Circle(val radius:Double) : Shape(){ override fun area(): Double { return Math.PI * radius * radius } } class Square(val side:Double) : Shape(){ override fun area(): Double { return side * side } } Explanation -   Here we have defined a Shape class which is a base class and open for i
