> Half of the comments on keyboard shortcuts were about how on Linux/Windows, the keyboard shortcut to copy/paste in the terminal is different from in the rest of the OS.

On Linux I rebind SIGINT to Ctrl+Shift+C and similarly Ctrl+V -> Ctrl+Shift+V. This has never caused problems, except when a friend/coworker is trying to use my machine.

GNOME Terminal makes this easy; if you map Ctrl+C to copy, it will automatically remap SIGINT to Ctrl+Shift+C.



I don't mind Ctrl+Shift+C so much, except that I mess it up several times a day, and that combo opens dev tools in Chrome, which takes several seconds to load on my work machine, messes up what I was doing and is a general nuisance. I wish there was a way to NOOP that combo in Chrome.
