It's weird that, after all these years, CTRL+C offers absolutely no user feedback to confirm the action.

No difference between trying to copy and SIGKILL 😂
Good point. Is there way to have toast messages for this in Linux?
This is one of these: if it ain't broke don't fix it type of deals
..and only a single copy instead of unlimited.
Well, other than it works when I paste.
it would be easy enough to make it require a double press, and print a message saying so
but it conflicts also with the Apple zxcv buttons, which make text editing one-handed on a qwerty keyboard. standard X window keys require you to also press shift to get this action. could have been alt also. apple also muddled up that stuff as well
Somehow my first thought was about sending SIGINT and i was like: that's up to the running process receiving the SIGINT. It was not until i looked at the replies that i noticed this was about copying selected data. 😂
Don't you mean CTRL+SHIFT+C 🐧
