My work flow depends heavily on Win + V and Win + Shift + S, both on my main desktop and RDP’ed into other Windows systems while sharing a clipboard. I’m interested in trying Linux as my daily driver, and I am looking for suggestions that will offer the least friction in how I operate. The above items are must haves and my hope is that the solution “just works” without having to set up a whole mess of macros or workarounds.
I am familiar with Debian and Ubuntu, so Linux will not be a new experience for me, though most of my work has been from command line interactions. My hope would be a distro I can stand up in a few hours that will let me continue to RDP into Windows systems and keep using Windows hot keys on both the Linux desktop and the Windows systems.


Except Kate/Kwrite defaults to Ctrl+R for replace, CTRL+H for find selected, and something else I don’t remember. The shortcuts can be changed though.
Well, I was referring to the ones OP specifically mentioned.
