One thing I love about macOS terminal is the distinction between Command-C and Control-C in the Terminal. One copies a text under cursor and the other sends a SIGINT. I absolutely hate using Control-Shift-C to copy a text in Linux terminal and Control-C anywhere else.


100% the best thing that Mac does with respect to keyboard shortcuts is the fact that the `Meta` key is the de-facto shortcut key. That makes so many shortcuts consistent across the command line and the OS


While I like that distinction too, I wonder why Linux terminals can’t tell whether something is currently selected or not, and have Control-C do the right thing depending on it?

I’ve been double-mapping Control-C on WSL for a few months (using ConEmu as a terminal) and it works surprisingly well for me.


Some terminals can, kitty for instance.
