Since I do not really use Ctrl-X on the terminal to cut text, I have changed my terminal configs to have Ctrl-X be sigint, and Ctrl-C to be copy. Makes for a nicer experience, also X looks more like a "kill" :)

Wow, in 7 years of daily Linux use, I somehow never thought of doing this. Thank you.

~/.bashrc:

stty intr ^x

~/.inputrc (at the end):

"\C-v": "" # Unbind Ctrl-V

~/.config/terminator/config (in case anyone happens to be using terminator):

[keybindings]

  copy = <Control>C

  paste = <Control>V

That makes way more sense.

Nice, but eons of muscle memory to retrain. :-/
