I’m looking for a way to completely disable the copy/paste functionality in Visual Studio (2005 if it matters). The reason behind this request is that I want to prevent myself from doing too much copy/paste while coding.
Thanks to all for your answers!
Yes, there is a way.
Download AutoHotKey. Save this as GoAwayN00b.ahk and double click it.
Additionally, you may want to provide visualisation for xtra stimulation. Save this picture and display it on hotkey press (left for exercise):

BTW, copy/paste + CLCL = FTW. I don’t use VS without it.
EDIT: Alternativelly, you can Customize Keyboard (right click toolbar -> Customize->Keyboard) and delete Edit.Copy and Edit.Paste hotkies. However, above script works with any VS and on any computer while this solution needs to be setup individually.
