    Shit is usually a pain in the ass. The challenge is divining how much of a pain in the ass something has to be that someone else might have made a solution for it.

    I didn’t know you could ctrl+shift+c to copy in the terminal until a month ago when my linux n00b wife said "there has to be a better way to do this. I’ve been right clicking to copy for 10 years.

        I used to have shift insert in my muscle memory from Windows, but since my job has used a Mac since 2020 it’s fallen out. I never knew Ctrl insert was copy, that’s nifty! Another tool in the arsenal. It will be useful when copy in select isn’t set and I don’t know how to set it up lol.

          I have always used ctrl/shift insert, I never got used to ctrl c/v. Glad you have new tools!

      Ctrl+c to copy, Ctrl+v to paste, Ctrl+z to undo last change (chain it multiple times to reverse time) hopes this helps, ctrl+tab also changes applications on macos and Linux to my knowledge. If you know anymore let’s put them together

        You’re getting downvotes because Ctrl+C doesn’t work in the terminal. That sends the kill command to the currently running application. You need the shift to tell the terminal program that you’re trying to copy.
