ctrl+c hot keys

[EfimenkoAndrew]

Environment

Windows build number: Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.18363.1198]
Windows Terminal version (if applicable): 1.4.3243.0


Any other software? No

Steps to reproduce

1. Open the terminal
2. Open PowerShell tab
3. Select text
4. Press ctrl+c to copy it
5. Press ctrl+v to pass the copied values

Expected behavior

The same behaviour as Windows PowerShell or ConEmu

Actual behavior

The ctrl+v passes the previously copied value. It is very uncomfortable to use Windows Terminal after PowerShell. Please fix that. I am not sure that CMD behaviour is actually expected one.

The default bindings (for all versions of terminal) are:

• copy - ctrl+shift+c / ctrl+insert
• paste - ctrl+shift+v / shift+insert

You can also bind ctrl+c / ctrl+v at your own risk (as it might be a disabler for some scenarios) by adding the following to keybindings (if you are in 1.4 and above, you are encouraged to use "actions" field rather than "keybindings") in settings file:

{ "command": {"action": "copy", "singleLine": false }, "keys": "ctrl+c" },
{ "command": "paste", "keys": "ctrl+v" }

Please read more about bindings here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/terminal/customize-settings/actions

BTW, if you need to learn additional shortcuts or even to apply actions without shortcuts - press ctrl+shift+p to open a command palette with all available commands and shortcuts.

Updated @EfimenkoAndrew - please pay attention that I adjusted the bindings, to the defaults suggested by the team.

@EfimenkoAndrew - btw do you have a fresh installation?

Interestingly, according to #5187, the following should appear by default in your settings file (but I guess this happens only if you don't have an old one):

{ "command": {"action": "copy", "singleLine": false }, "keys": "ctrl+c" },
{ "command": "paste", "keys": "ctrl+v" }

Right: we bound ctrl+c by default only for users who installed after... maybe 0.7? 0.5? So we didn’t mess up everyone who installed before then.
