Toshy makes Cmd-C copy in all Linux apps: both GUIs & Terminals. This avoids any clashes with Ctrl in terminal as you're using Cmd for shortcuts everywhere instead.

I assume you're thinking of trying to use Ctrl-C in terminals? The secret third option is never using Ctrl at all outside of terminals.

> I guess a better place for copy/paste would be WIN+C/V

Yeah that would likely be the equivalent of Cmd if you're using a Windows keyboard. That is how it's configured across all apps by default in macOS & Toshy just ports that sensibility over to Linux.

Anyone know if Toshy is usable on xfce? It's not listed on https://github.com/RedBearAK/toshy?tab=readme-ov-file#curren...

		I haven't tried it but from your link it sounds like it is supported as XFCE uses X11. The future Wayland support that the XFCE guys are working on uses wlroots so it should be easy for Toshy to support when it lands - there's a few wlroots DEs listed there.

		You can use XFCE's control panel / keyboard / application shortcuts to assign xvkb invoking XF86Copy and XF86Paste to whatever you like. xvkb: the X virtual keyboard. In full GUI mode, it saves you when your keyboard is caput. In headless mode, you can synthesize keys not found in nature, or at least not on your physical board.
