I&amp;#x27;ve never come across any other program that maps something that isn&amp;#x27;t ctrl+c&amp;#x2F;v to copy&amp;#x2F;paste.&lt;p&gt;MacOS is able to keep this consistent because ctrl+c&amp;#x2F;v isn&amp;#x27;t mapped to copy&amp;#x2F;paste, and instead command+c&amp;#x2F;v is. If you really want, Linux is perfectly capable of mapping Super+c&amp;#x2F;v to copy&amp;#x2F;paste. You would probably only need to do this in your terminal emulator and your DE.</text></comment>
