Unless Google's search AI lied to me (and surely it would never do that) this is all Apple's fault anyway. They are the one's that highjacked Ctrl+c for the copy function.
Unfortunately, that has become ingrained now everywhere other than the Linux terminal. And as Gui interfaces have improved over the years, average users are spending less time there, and Ctrl+shift+c has become the option that feels out of place.
But copy is Command+C on macOS and iOS, not Ctrl+C. Maybe in the Classic Mac OS days, but I doubt they would’ve made such a significant change moving to OS X.
Yeah potentially it would be easier/more concise if I'd adjust my terminal/shell to remap the
crtl+c , crtl +shift +cbehavior instead of demanding the whole world revert a decision made in the last century.
