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

    If you need any help, ping me and I’ll share my setup.

    The reason you gave still falls under the concept of ergonomics.

    From wikipedia:

    Ergonomics, also known as human factors or human factors engineering (HFE), is the application of psychological and physiological principles to the engineering and design of products, processes, and systems. Primary goals of human factors engineering are to reduce human error, increase productivity and system availability, and enhance safety, health and comfort with a specific focus on the interaction between the human and equipment.

    It would be a more ergonomic (and less error prone) system if you modify the shortcuts so that you don’t fumble them.

        My current setup:

        ~/.bashrc

          stty intr \^x
  bind -f ~/.inputrc

        ~/.inputrc

        set bind-tty-special-chars off

set colored-stats on
set show-all-if-ambiguous on
set show-all-if-unmodified on
set completion-ignore-case on
set completion-query-items -1
set page-completions off

"\e[1;5C": forward-word
"\e[1;5D": backward-word
"\C-h": nop
"\C-s":"\C-asudo "

        And in Konsole I have remapped copy to ctrl+C and paste to ctrl+V .

        I honestly don’t remember what each config line is for, cause it has been so long ago. And probably you don’t want all of that. Probably best to throw it into an AI and let it explain it line by line.
