I read a lot of answers online that its a bad idea, but the arguments did not make a lot of sense. “it’s a heavily ingrained part of the eco system”. Well if I can change it, what’s the deal?

It makes more sense to make an interrupt signal be the harder shortcut, and copy to be ctrl+C, matching other programs and platforms.

    That’s a valid point. I already have a similar but not exactly the same problem when I move between linux and macos, where the shortcuts don’t really match or work.

    The difference between ctrl+C on the browser and ctrl+C on the terminal already disorients me. I’d rather the shortcut work the 99% of the time I’m on my own machines.

    I think I’ll just have to really keep this in mind when not using my own machine.

      I used to create tons of aliases and custom helper scripts. It became a real pain whenever I worked on a Linux server or something that didn’t have all my customizations. Now I only have one alias (l=“ls -Fhla”). Getting used to my snowflake system just made things more complicated for me…
