I also criss cross enough different terminals and systems that I never know if it is Ctrl-C or Ctrl-Shift-C. Same with paste.

Try Shift-Insert. Works everywhere, never overloaded by something destructive.

It would be nice if we could use Ctrl+Break instead of Ctrl+C... also, use SysRq instead of Ctrl+Z.

		Rare to have these on a laptop. Sometimes you can find an non standard alternative key combo.

		Legacy bullshit from the 70s still making people facedesk today and probably for the next hundred years or more. At least ctrl-shift-c and ctrl-shift-v are now somewhat more common.
