> - A Cmd+C to copy and Ctrl+C for the interruption 7 in the terminal,

I really miss that in Linux. That said, some terminals implement smart Ctrl+C which will interrupt if there's no text selected and copy otherwise. But terminal I use (Gnome Console) does not, so I have to press Ctrl+Shift+C to copy text and then I press that in browser and everything exploded because it opens developer tools. So annoying.

I also used Ctrl-Shift-C for a long time, but then I learned that the CUA keys for copy and pasting are Ctrl/Shift-Ins and that is far more convenient and works consistently even in the old Windows terminal in a VM.
