I read a lot of answers online that its a bad idea, but the arguments did not make a lot of sense. “it’s a heavily ingrained part of the eco system”. Well if I can change it, what’s the deal?

It makes more sense to make an interrupt signal be the harder shortcut, and copy to be ctrl+C, matching other programs and platforms.

    I’ve done it for about a decade without anything bad ever happening.

    I have rebound copy and paste to ctrl+c and ctrl+v in konsole and bound the interrupt to ctrl+x using stty intr ^x

    Also I keep it consistent across ssh sessions by using Xpipe.

    I honestly wasn’t even aware that anybody thought it might be bad for any reason.
