Can Git Bash Shell using the default windows shortcuts for Copy & Paste?

Question

I'd like to be able to use Ctrl-C & Ctrl-V for copy and paste into the Git Bash Shell. However, the shell has Ctrl-Insert & Shift-Insert as those actions.

I don't see an obvious way to change these shortcut keys. Am I missing something obvious?

I am using Windows 10.

Answer 1

In Git Bash (2.25) there is an option to change the shortcuts from Ctrl|Shift+Insert to Ctrl-Shift+C|V.
It's still not what you are asking for, but it's much closer to it, than the default shortcuts.

Options=>Keys=>Shortcuts: activate option "Ctrl+Shift+letter shortcuts"

Answer 2

Properties -> Options -> Enable ctrl key shortcuts works for me. Otherwise, you can enable the QuickEdit mode from that same Options menu, and you should be able to use Windows commands in there.

Answer 3

Ctrl-C sends an interrupt signal to the current program. It is useful if you, say, accidentally write a script with an infinite loop. This is why many terminals use alternatives.

I suggest learning the alternatives and leaving Ctrl-C for interrupt.
