Use ctrl +shift +c to copy in terminal

Ah yes the classic dangerous command made safe by a modifier key. Put the gun to your head and pull the trigger, just make sure you’re holding down the shift key and it’s all good!

Ctrl+insert to copy and shift+insert also works! It was the DOS way of doing it.

Or just left click to highlight & middle click to paste.

Just have to be different don't they.

This is how my secure crt is set up when im accessing switches. If i use ctrl+c it cancels what im doing and drops back to priv mode and its so frustrating.

Or just highlight the text and use middle click to paste

Now I'm upset this wasn't the original haha

I do that all the time. Opens up developer tools on firefox if you do it.

Yes. And on Microsoft Teams that triggers a chat call.

That solution ish the worst. Ctrl-shift-c does a shitload of different things in different programs, and in browsers it does different things per page.

Ctrl-ins, shift-ins, shift-del for the win bit THEN some programs simply refuse to support that.

I have like 4 different copy paste short cuts because of this and it sucks

Yeah I love this feature. I love it so much that I'll also tell everyone who cares to listen how you can use it. Edit your ~/.config/kitty/kitty.conf file to include map ctrl+c copy_and_clear_or_interrupt and you are good to go. Only issue I have that it doesn't seem to work in the vscode terminal.

Oh what a great way to further entrench a bad habbit! Hang on I need to remedy some refactored code with rm -rf * which Kitty made safe if I’m in a directory with my project files 🙄

True strength is bending the machine to appease your habits, not to bend your habits to appease the machine.

Should have used middle mouse button instead

Average itoddler

That sounds a lot like

My rear passenger tire was about 3psi low so I bought a new Grand Cherokee

Yeah, I was looking at this wondering why anyone would stop a program just to copy a line, and then I remembered that not everyone uses a Mac.

you can literally change the shortcut

Modern problems require costly solutions.

I additionally mapped that latter one to F2, because being able to repeatedly copy from VIM and paste into another application without having to move your hand between mouse and keyboard is nice.

Of course, that's VIM. If you meant "vim mode" in shell, then that's a different story.
