    Such an annoying kludge to make a common operation work.

      My hot take: cross-application or system-wide shortcuts like copy/paste should all be controlled with the Super/Meta key. Looking hard at you, alt-F4.

      App developers, you get your pick of Shift, Ctrl, and Alt modifiers. Super/Meta is for the OS only.

        Super is for my window manager.

        Which I guess is kind of where copy paste live so I’m on board, barring semantic nitpicks

      Personally, I think it was quite rude of all of those applications to make the standard “break” command mean “copy.”

      I guess I’m so used to it at this point that I just add the shift automatically and don’t really consider it annoying

      That describes nearly everything in software, doesn’t it😅
