Use ctrl +shift +c to copy in terminal

- Use ctrl +shift +c to copy in terminal
  
  Ah yes the classic dangerous command made safe by a modifier key. Put the gun to your head and pull the trigger, just make sure you’re holding down the shift key and it’s all good!

  It's all good bro the shafty is on

- Ctrl+insert to copy and shift+insert also works! It was the DOS way of doing it.

- Or just left click to highlight & middle click to paste.

- Just have to be different don't they.

  Or change copy to command+c.. I’m gonna be honest, OSX is right here. And quite strangely it is very hard to customize your linux to imitate that.

- This is how my secure crt is set up when im accessing switches. If i use ctrl+c it cancels what im doing and drops back to priv mode and its so frustrating.

Select text to copy. Middle click to paste.

Don't use Ctrl...

- Wayland broke that

  I'm sorry but... it works on my machine

  I'm using sway and I still can do that with urxvt

  Don't they ever test shit?

- I never realized that was why people used the primaey clipboard on Linux...
  
  But I'll be frank : fuck that. I'd rather disable it entirely and stop having to deal with random text pasting in bad places when I'm using the touchpad

  What wonky touchpad makes that a problem?
  
  You could use shift -insert instead I suppose.

It didn't load completely at first, so i saw something like this and i think it is even better that way:

- Now I'm upset this wasn't the original haha

  I think it works better with the context of the original already present.

I've almost gotten into the habit of hitting Ctrl+Shift+C when I want to copy something because of that.

32
- I do that all the time. Opens up developer tools on firefox if you do it.

  I open developer tools every day doing that!

- Yes. And on Microsoft Teams that triggers a chat call.

  Burn it with fire!

- That solution ish the worst. Ctrl-shift-c does a shitload of different things in different programs, and in browsers it does different things per page.
  
  Ctrl-ins, shift-ins, shift-del for the win bit THEN some programs simply refuse to support that.
  
  I have like 4 different copy paste short cuts because of this and it sucks

  I'm not saying it's great, but at least in my use I haven't seen it being destructive/disruptive like Ctrl+C is.

  Do you at least have 4 clipboards to go with them? Because I don't think I could ever go back to a single clipboard.

Kitty has the feature that if you have text selected it will copy and if not then it will interrupt the command

23
- Yeah I love this feature. I love it so much that I'll also tell everyone who cares to listen how you can use it. Edit your ~/.config/kitty/kitty.conf file to include map ctrl+c copy_and_clear_or_interrupt and you are good to go. Only issue I have that it doesn't seem to work in the vscode terminal.

  Any keybinds I have set don't work in vscodium terminal for me too. I mainly use neovim for those things.
  
  1
- Oh what a great way to further entrench a bad habbit! Hang on I need to remedy some refactored code with rm -rf * which Kitty made safe if I’m in a directory with my project files 🙄

Ctrl/Shift+Insert gang rise!

I see myself in this meme and I do not like it.

Running a long command and didn’t ctrl-D it…

I bought a Mac to solve this problem lol

- Should have used middle mouse button instead
  
  15
- Average itoddler
  
  12
- That sounds a lot like
  
  My rear passenger tire was about 3psi low so I bought a new Grand Cherokee
  
  6
- Yeah, I was looking at this wondering why anyone would stop a program just to copy a line, and then I remembered that not everyone uses a Mac.
  
  5
- Modern problems require costly solutions.
  
  3
- you can literally change the shortcut

I've changed this on all my terminals and I'm not ashamed of it.

- True strength is bending the machine to appease your habits, not to bend your habits to appease the machine.

  No. The flesh is weak. The machine is immortal.
  
  Flesh is fallible but ritual honours the machine spirit.
  
  All hail the Omnissiah.

I literally just learned about Ctrl+c last week, I've been using terminal casually since I was 10, and always thought it was dumb that when a script was stuck hanging that I had to close the command window and redo my steps. I always thought it was weird that you had to right click to copy something and never thought why that might be the case, I have no excuses.

I don't remember the last time I used ctrl-C. It's always select or "+y.

- I additionally mapped that latter one to F2, because being able to repeatedly copy from VIM and paste into another application without having to move your hand between mouse and keyboard is nice.
  
  Of course, that's VIM. If you meant "vim mode" in shell, then that's a different story.

- And I just set clipboard unnamedplus
