when i hear your question i think "why does he ask this question?"
imo you should just pick an IDE and learn coding. when you apply for a job, i don't think they want someone that knows where you press "compile" and "go" and "pause" etc... i think they want an experienced coder.

in another company we had that windows machines where we weren't free to install software... so we always had to fill out a paper for something new... but it wasn't a software company though.

copy paste usually works, yep but it's still annoying

maybe you should specify your question more. which programming language? for some languages, some IDE's are just much better

If you end up working for a company that does large projects, you're most likely not going to get to choose an IDE. You'll just conform to whatever the project you begin working on uses because changing based on the preference of a few people is silly. You should make yourself familiar with Visual C++, Netbeans, and eclipse as they are the most common/popular and are all used for different projects where I work.

Honestly though, I don't see  a big difference. I don't like Visual C++ much, but to me they're all basically the same thing so it doesn't bother me much.
