Progress towards universal Copy/Paste shortcuts on Linux
mark.stosberg.com
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

    This is really cool, and clever, and it’s neat they posted how they did this; but I think I would have just used kanata and done it in the host.

    I almost used kanata instead of programming my QMK keyboard, because kanata can be used with any keyboard, which means if I need to use a different keyboard for some reason I don’t have to change how I type. Plus, oddly, I seem to have fewer accidental layer/modifier triggers with kanata.

      What keys to you use to activate custom layers with Katana?

      A nice thing about custom keyboards is that they designed with easy to reach keys that can be used for layer switching.
