On Linux, Control-C and Control-V don't work for copying and pasting in terminals. The Control modifier is used for its original purpose of inserting control codes. Instead, terminal apps require an extra Shift modifier, like Control+Shift+C. But what if there were hidden shortcut combos for copy and paste

    There’s only two. One has broken primary selection, the other has anti-user policies against adblock plugins.

    I can live without copy on highlight. But you could pry UBlock Origin from my cold, dead hands.

      uBlock Origin and mouse copy and paste works perfectly well in Firefox.

        Copy on select and middle mouse button paste doesn’t work in text fields created by js code in Firefox. I remember finding a stale bug report for it, but can’t find it.

        There are a lot of websites that use javascript to create text fields, some recent examples that I can remember right now:

        • codewars.com
        • claude.ai
        • vscode.dev

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
