The thing that annoys me the most in vs.net is the behavior of control-c (copy), in any other text editor I've used, ctrl-c never copies if there is no selection, so if you mistakenly hit copy instead of paste I never lose the selection in the clipboard, whereas vs.net copies a empty character (?), and when you copy or cut a selection and then move your curser to the paste position and hit ctrl-c again you actually lose the saved selection.

Not quite, it actually copies the current line. If the line is empty, it copies the line break....
But I agree it's annoying.. -

Just out of curiosity, what key combination do you use to cut/copy/paste ?

Just hit Ctrl-Shift-V. This cycles through the last few things that were in your clipboard.
If it was on your clipboard before you slipped, it'll be the 2nd thing to show up.
So you've not lost anything. I also use the 'copy whole line' functionality you get by hitting Ctrl-C with no selection all the time. So these two features in combination are a whole lot better, IMO, than the downgrade you are proposing here. -

It's just a question of what most people are used too, and how all other MS applications behave. I select a line by triple clicking on it.
btw, thanks for the Ctrl-Shift-V tip. -

In VC6 there was an option on the Compatibility tab 'Enable copy without selection' that controlled this behaviour.
This newsgroup post says that there is no such option in VS7. -

Does anybody know if this option is available in VS 2005 beta 2 ?
