Description mcarans 2025-10-29 03:51:06 UTC 
SUMMARY
Konsole should have an option to have smart CTRL-C. When text is selected, CTRL-C copies it. When no text is selected, CTRL-C sends SIGINT. This is similar to how it works with cmd in Windows.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Look for option in settings

OBSERVED RESULT
Option doesn't exist. Can only set one key combination for copy and another for SIGINT.

EXPECTED RESULT
Option should exist to set one key combination for both copy and SIGINT.
