I read a lot of answers online that its a bad idea, but the arguments did not make a lot of sense. “it’s a heavily ingrained part of the eco system”. Well if I can change it, what’s the deal?

It makes more sense to make an interrupt signal be the harder shortcut, and copy to be ctrl+C, matching other programs and platforms.

    I believe Macbooks can copy/paste with command+C instead, though? The lack of keys is annoying on some Windows laptops, though. You could probably rebind keys or add shortcuts for super+c/v to copy/paste to make them behave like Macbooks (i.e. bind them to wl-clip or some other clipboard command) but I’ve never had to experiment with that.

      Command+C on Mac books work, yes, But that still means inconsistencies across different platforms. I am forced to use macos for work, and I try to unify my shortcuts across the two platforms. Otherwise it’s disorienting using my personal computer after a day of work

        My solution for this has been on my Linux machine, using keyd, to swap alt and super, and map super+c, super+v to copy and paste. (I also map super+L, super+R, super+T and super+W in Firefox to the control- equivalents using keyd’s per-application bindings functionality)
