That's an X11 thing that Wayland had to reimplement because it's so convenient. The problem is when pasting into the terminal something that another program copied into the clipboard. That's ctrl-shift-c.
I thought about remapping copy and paste to their own keys, possibly a single one. Maybe on the number pad, which I never use. Or remapping ctrl-c.
There's always Ctrl+Insert for copy and Shift+Insert for paste. I know that there's some laptops lacking an insert key, which is terrible, but for keyboard with an insert key the Ctrl/Shift + Insert combos are useful at times.
Especially because one does not have to push three keys with the same hand, which is not nice to tendons. I think I did that for a while time ago, then forgot about it. Thanks.
I always use the opposite modifier key(s) (e.g. right control + a), which I was told to do when I learned to type Dvorak; but you're welcome.
