Apply Cut or Copy to blank lines when there is no selection

I mostly code in Visual Studio Code Insiders on either macOS or Linux but on the occasion that I develop on windows, I do like to use the old faithful Visual Studio.

And today I fixed a slight annoyance that I have with Visual Studio 2019.

If you cut or copy on a blank line accidentally which does happen you will lose your clipboard contents.

To fix this in the search bar at the top enter Apply Cut or Copy to blank lines when there is no selection and open its’s dialog.

Uncheck that box for your language (or all languages as I did).

vs dialog

Success 🎉
