Clipboard anxiety

foomandoonian:

I get this weird feeling when I have something in the clipboard. If it’s something I have copied it’s a kind of pregnant “holding onto something” feeling. If it’s something I’ve cut, then I have an additional anxiety that I will have a crash, forget about it, or most likely of all, copy again before I have pasted.

I get this! Other terms he cites for the same condition: ‘Control-C anxiety, clip itch and clipboard pregnancy’. Clip itch sounds nasty!

(Found by googling the term to see if it existed elsewhere.)
