missing ctrl+ins copy / shift+ins paste #623

Closed cantarini closed 1 month ago

cantarini commented 2 months ago

in a linux CLI, the ctrl+c keystroke is used to send a SIGINT signal, hence it is useful to use the old ctrl+ins and shift+ins keystrokes to copy/paste text from/to the CLI. Unfortunately such keystrokes currently don't trigger copy/paste functions Oh, and there is a shift+del function to trigger the "cut" function too. It would be very useful if such key combinations will be implemented in the future

What terminal application are you using ? It seems to me that the keyboard does send the right keys for ctrl+ins, shift+ins, etc.. If you use Termux, it does not have keybindings that use the insert key: https://wiki.termux.com/wiki/Touch_Keyboard

I use Termux

Sorry for the slow reply. Termux doesn't do anything special for these keys by default. It also seems that it doesn't have any copy and paste shortcuts. I suggest to search through Termux issues if someone had the same problem.
