This is where I find cmd+c/v better. It just works everywhere. On windows win+v works, not sure if win+c does, it’s been a while.


Win+c works too on windows. So does ctrl+insert/shift+insert on the terminals I just tested (cmd.exe, microsoft terminal with tabs, git bash, blue powershell terminal).

Win+c/win+v looks like a good compromise, using the Windows button for OS/DE commands, instead of application commands.


On Win11 Win+C launches Copilot by default these days. Win+X and Win+V also have functions assigned to them that are in no way related to the keyboard.


Eww, that's very unfortunate. Well, so much for a cross-os copy-paste shortcut.
