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.

    Isn’t it enough just to instruct stty to take the new shortcut, instead of running a custom kernel? Is there anything left out by doing this?

      idk it’s weird to have ^C, ^M and other control characters and have one be ctrl+shift+c and the other be control+m

        It shouldn’t be too difficult to remap them all to the ctrl+shift equivalent. I just have to make sure I get all of them.
