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.

gnome-terminal changing paste shortcut ctrl+shift+v to shift+ins (lemmy.world)

So, being frustrated with a firefox addons copy not showing up with shift+ins in gnome-terminal I decided to switch gnome-terminal paste shortcut to shift+ins.
Are there any known bugs with doing this? I've only done some quick tests and seem to always get the clipboard info I'm expecting.

edit: Thanks to @[email protected] I now know about gpaste and use that to sync primary and selection both ways.

I've tried finding a manager for this, Pano allows me to sync primary to selection but not selection to primary but I haven't found one that works the other way around. I'm currently running Fedora 38 with Gnome 44.
While the shift+ins helps with pasting the wrong stuff it would be even better if I could get middle-click to sync up too.

Gpaste can do it. The out of the box experience is a bit hit and miss, but it's plenty configurable and reliable once set up to your liking.

Kudos! Thanks a lot! gnome-terminal reverted to ctrl+shift+v and shift+ins and middle-click works as expected!
