Shit is usually a pain in the ass. The challenge is divining how much of a pain in the ass something has to be that someone else might have made a solution for it.
I didn’t know you could ctrl+shift+c to copy in the terminal until a month ago when my linux n00b wife said "there has to be a better way to do this. I’ve been right clicking to copy for 10 years.
Ctrl+c to copy, Ctrl+v to paste, Ctrl+z to undo last change (chain it multiple times to reverse time) hopes this helps, ctrl+tab also changes applications on macos and Linux to my knowledge. If you know anymore let’s put them together
You’re getting downvotes because Ctrl+C doesn’t work in the terminal. That sends the kill command to the currently running application. You need the shift to tell the terminal program that you’re trying to copy.
I use cmd+c cmd+v in my terminal all they time, I do get ctlr+c is the shutdown command. I use a it frequently. I honestly had no clue I was being down voted but I don’t care
Congratulations! I remember where I was when I first learned it (in a noisy server room at the back of a machine shop).
Now pair it with FZF for fuzzy finding – it’s surprisingly easy to set up, just following any guide. It’s insanely useful. I find myself even doing things like typing:
commands with these like comments on the ends as sort of “tags” so I can ctrl+r search for them later. Yes, I know I could just use a named function, but this is like the step just before that–before I know if I’ll be issuing the same command all the time, or just for the next couple weeks. (This one was from when I was resting my notebook on my laptop.)
Ctrl+R
What the fuck!? How am I only learning this now, after years of linux as daily driver?!

And ctrl + shift + v to paste, just in case
If that doesn’t work, Shift + Insert.
most DE’s have a thing where you can paste highlighted text using the middle mouse button
It’s also independent from the Clipboard so you can do it while keeping your clipboard
I think that’s just an x11 thing that might have been carried over to Wayland or at least works on Hyprland.
I believe plasma also has it
Middle mouse button?!
Most mouse wheels can be clicked in place of the middle button, which has been removed from most modern computer mouses.
It’s also known as mouse 3 if you need to find it on your mouse or want to bind it to something else.
you can also just use ctrl + insert for copy and shift + insert for paste.

I don’t have a command key. I don’t use a mac.

I like this; I have a lot of commands that I don’t use often enough to justify an alias, but still need to rerun all the time. thanks!
https://atuin.sh/ Does all that and a lot more, like showing if the command succeeded and which directory it was run in
