    The article doesn’t suggest using Control+C. It talks about dedicated copy and paste key codes, and you can program your keyboard to map those codes to whatever keys you like. They suggest Fn+C.

        I think at this point XKCD should be a TLD.

        I would join lemmy.xkcd in a heartbeat.

      We could use Ctrl+Insert and Shift+Insert like in the last three decades, but some of these keyboards apparently forgot about the Insert key.

        I confirmed that these already supported a number of terminals plus QT and GTK. They could also be mapped to be more ergonomic with a programmable keyboard:

        • Control+Insert: Copy
        • Shift+Delete: Cut
        • Shift+Insert: Paste
