On Linux, Control-C and Control-V don't work for copying and pasting in terminals. The Control modifier is used for its original purpose of inserting control codes. Instead, terminal apps require an extra Shift modifier, like Control+Shift+C. But what if there were hidden shortcut combos for copy and paste

    I was just complaining about something like this just the other day.

    edit: hold on, they want me to have dedicated keyboard keys for copy and pasta? No. I am not accepting that as a solution.

      no, there are dedicated keycodes for copy and paste, and you can bind them to whatever

        I’d like them to be ctrl-c and ctrl-v

          yeah, if you bind ctrl c and ctrl v to copy and paste keys, you can get the same behavior in terminals and other apps that have weird default bindings for ctrl c and v for historical reasons
