Keyboard shortcuts for copy/paste and more #105

Open schindld opened 4 years ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. The keyboard shortcuts are frustrating to use. De facto standards like ctrl-c and ctrl-v don't work as expected. I know that ctrl-c is tricky to map to copy in a terminal, but Cmder does it successfully depending on whether you have text selected or not.

Describe the solution you'd like Mappings I'd like to see: ctrl-c: If text is selected = copy, or if none selected = pass it along to the terminal. ctrl-v: paste ctrl-left: move cursor left a word ctrl-right: move cursor right a word ctrl-backspace: delete previous word alt-click: move cursor to click location shift-left: select character to the left shift-right: select character to the right ctrl-shift-left: select word to the left ctrl-shift-right: select word to the right shift-home: select text from cursor to the beginning of the line shift-end: select text from the cursor to the end of the line

Describe alternatives you've considered Cmder can do most of these.

Additional context n/a

Defacto ctrl c and ctrl v does not work for most terminal emulators. ctrl+c is usually used for sending interrupt, so most terminals provide ctrl+shift+c and ctrl+shift+v for copy paste. However it does make sense to make these key boards shortcuts configurable. So adding this to backlog

Is it possible to copy on select and paste with the right mouse button? This is used in several SSH programs and works wonderfully, so much so that I added this behavior to my desktop...
