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 😂

That's why it's called a shortcut or a hotkey, the action necessitated 2 simultaneous key presses. To say you're already committed is an understatement.

They could add some confetti

Now that I can get behind. 😅

Windows XP Solitaire fireworks comes to mind.

😂

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 🐧

Its why I have a habbit that for text I use control + x and then paste it back in and tben paste it where I wanted it.

May I introduce you to Ctrl-Insert and Shift-Insert?
