Holy fucking shit. I just realized that’s why Ctrl + C and Ctrl + V don’t work in Micro. This has been eye opening.
I have a typematrix keyboard.
My patch to add Copy/Paste keycode support to the Cosmic Terminal was merged!
As someone who likes Rust but dislikes the look of COSMIC, are there plans to allow theming?
There is an unintended benefit to putting an obstacle between people who don’t know how to use the terminal and pasting code into it.
Control+C is used to kill a process in the terminal and that shouldn’t be overwritten. If it is, you’d have to create a totally separate key binding to kill a process. Seems unnecessarily complex when Control+Shift+C works just fine.
I feel like you may have misunderstood the article. It’s talking about how support is increasing for dedicated Copy keys, and that programmable keyboards make it easy to use dedicated Copy keys. The article does not mention changing the behaviour of Ctrl-C.
Control+C is used to kill a process in the terminal and that shouldn’t be overwritten.
Agreed. The post didn’t suggest that.

For people already using programmable keyboards global copy/paste shortcuts are a nice perk.
I spend nearly all my day in a browser or a terminal and as I use a terminal and browser that already support this, the effect is 99% complete.
Come on, having a 3-key combo for such a common task is a PITA. There’s a reason people have been complaining about this for decades.
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.
Honestly, this is a nice feature of macOS (or at least iTerm 2; I don’t use the official terminal). I know CTRL-C is used to kill processes and we all have that muscle memory but I usually try to change that on my personal Linux installs because I’ve hit it by mistake before.
I used to use CTRL+INSERT for copy and SHIFT+INSERT for paste but there’s usually no insert key on laptops or even small keyboards. It’s probably time to just adapt.
⌘C and ⌘V work in the native MacOS terminal app as well.
Wow. I haven’t seen a Sun keyboard like that in … geez forever. Whose were fun times. I was younger then.
Ctrl+Ins gang rise up
there’s a growing adoption of keyboards with custom firmware– programmable keyboards
- There’s an error
- You have computers? We have computers to send keystrokes to our computers!
Edit: i mean, there’s software to remap your keyboard.
Hey, this is one of the reasons I bought this keyboard!
For a couple extra bucks you can get them to make each individual key a separate key code by asking them to convert it to Single Usage Code Firmware, which is so nifty to me!
