From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Have you tried
ctrl+shift+cto copy from terminal?Terminal shortcuts to copy and paste are different, because ctrl+ may be a command
Yes, never have this problem thanks to the trusty
ctrl+shift+candctrl+shift+v.I have this problem the other way around, I always try to copy with ctrl shift c, out of muscle memory, but in chrome it opens up the devtools instead
You and me both. The worst is I have to use Teams for work and Ctrl+Shift+C is the shortcut to call the person you’re chatting with.
Yeah this is probably the best way to do it. I think(?) the middle-click copy/paste has a separate buffer so you should use it separately from ctrl+c and ctrl+v.
