Ctrl is already used my a large number of commands in POSIX shells. This is one of the places that I really like Apple’s solution (despite really not liking most of what they do). Super/GUI/Command + c/v is a great improvement in the terminal.
Vim has a better way, it’s called :set clipboard=unnamedplus (alternatively, one can bind anything else to copy/paste to/from system cliboards). Not sure why would one use a mouse for this, honestly
does this suggest that copy/paste from the terminal is broken by design and we need find a better way?
I like your thinking. Give me Firefox with a TUI and POSIX shell i/o redirection support.
Might I suggest a common set of keybinds… maybe C for copy, and v for vaste… maybe use ctrl as well?
