Description greenscarf005 2025-04-30 15:08:09 UTC 
SUMMARY

- Copying text and sending SIGINT is perhaps the most-used shortcut key in terminal.
- It was possible to copy text and send SIGINT with same Ctrl+C key till 24.x. 
- Back then, konsole interpreted Ctrl+C without text selection as SIGINT, and Ctrl+C with text selection as copy.
- This made using Ctrl+C very ergonomic as you never want to copy text without selecting any text.
- starting from 25.x, this is no longer possible.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. set Ctrl+C as copy in shortcuts.
2. press Ctrl+C without selecting any text.

OBSERVED RESULT

SIGINT isn't not being sent.

EXPECTED RESULT

konsole should send SIGINT on Ctrl+C when no text is being selected.

commenting here as here feels more relevant:
