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
I’ve programmed my keyboard (bit round the houses as I can’t directly assign copy and paste keycodes) so Fn+X/C/V send XF86Cut/Copy/Paste.
It works in Firefox. Yay!
It doesn’t work in anything else I’ve tried, but according to that article GTK and Qt are being updated and they usually handle copy/paste rather than the apps themselves.
Looking forward to ditching Ctrl+C, which should never have been a copy shortcut in the first place.
