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

    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.

      Thanks! I’m using konsole too, so that’s good to know. Do you remap something else to produce the ctrl-c character?

        No, I press ctrl + c on my keyboard and in Konsole settings it is ctrl + c for copy
