      I often copy-paste, Ctrl+C then Ctrl+V. However, I frequently hit Ctrl+C by mistake when I intend to paste, especially when nothing is selected. I realize my error and then press the correct Ctrl+V. Unfortunately, this action often clears whatever I had previously copied. Is it possible to prevent Ctrl+C from overwriting the clipboard’s content when nothing is selected, so it retains the previously copied information?

        Uncheck Settings > Preferences > Editing 1 > ☐ Enable Copy/Cut Line without selection

          For those who want to update their back-up configuration files with this setting: in config.xml, look for GUIConfig name="ScintillaPrimaryView" and add the entry lineCopyCutWithoutSelection="no".
