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.

    Why? It seems like you would want to kill a program more than copying text. Is it just a habit thing?

      1. Not in my workflow. Usually programms terminate after doing their job. And I copy the output all the time to google for stuff or to put it in another terminal or another command.

      2. Ctrl+X is not significantly more difficult to press than Ctrl+C. But Ctrl+Shift+C is.
