Description mashkal2000@gmail.com 2023-08-02 02:00:46 UTC

SUMMARY
Feature request: when text is selected, ctrl+c and Ctrl+v copy and paste, rather than sending signals to the currently-running process. This feature is available in the VSCode console and the fact that it is missing from konsole is rather annoying. Always using Ctrl+Shift+C does not work since web browsers (both Firefox and Chrome) open devtools on Ctrl+Shift+C rather than copying, and have no way to rebind that. Having separate shortcuts for separate applications prevents building up muscle memory, and I have found myself accidentally stopping long-running processes and inadvertently opening browser devtools quite frequently due to the lack of this feature.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.  Select text with mouse
2. Ctrl+C

OBSERVED RESULT
SIGTERM is sent

EXPECTED RESULT
text is copied

*Ctrl+C sends SIGINT, not SIGTERM. That doesn't affect this feature request though
