    The first time you accidentally type Control-C into a terminal and cancel an important process when you meant to copy some text it becomes a PITA.

      Exactly. I do it pretty regularly and I’ve been using Linux for 20 years.

      And yet people here are still saying “no biggie”. It’s pure status quo bias.

        No, it’s recognising that terminal has its own rules and the learned Ctrl+C for copy has no sense… Okay, C-Copy. Some sense. Now, Ctrl+V for… vaste? :)

        All while having an Insert fucking button.

        In the end, me personally does not care as long as Ctrl+C continues to be the process-killer
