            My hot take: cross-application or system-wide shortcuts like copy/paste should all be controlled with the Super/Meta key. Looking hard at you, alt-F4.

            App developers, you get your pick of Shift, Ctrl, and Alt modifiers. Super/Meta is for the OS only.

              Super is for my window manager.

              Which I guess is kind of where copy paste live so I’m on board, barring semantic nitpicks

            Personally, I think it was quite rude of all of those applications to make the standard “break” command mean “copy.”

            I guess I’m so used to it at this point that I just add the shift automatically and don’t really consider it annoying

            Such an annoying kludge to make a common operation work.

            That describes nearly everything in software, doesn’t it😅

          One of the things I always setup is a pbpaste & pbcopy function to mirror Marcos’s. I know that’s not what the meme is about but pbpaste > /tmp/filename.json is too handy
