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.

...because that would make Ctrl+C Cut/Copy and that would be really bad. It would kill whatever was running.

So, it becomes Ctrl+Shift+C and paste got moved in the same way for consistency.

I use Ctrl+C to copy far more often than to break a process or something. I demand that Ctrl+Shift+C be reconfigured! 😀
