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 @lemmyng@lemmy.ca I now know about gpaste and use that to sync primary and selection both ways.

    Muscle memory!
    As soon as I work in a terminal I use shift+ins instinctively, most programs still send the copy to both buffers if they have a “copy” button/function but some now only send to primary and you get some old text selection thrown into your terminal instead of the command the program helpfully copied for you.

      Shift/Ctrl+Ins/Del unite! 😁 And yes, muscle memory is a powerful drug. Been using it since before Windows came along, kept using it after. Especially useful after I switched to Dvorak (and yes, I know of Colemak).
