  Blasphemy, this would require lifting your hands from the home row for longer than 10ms.

CTRL + C is for terminating process occupying current terminal. How would I do sysadmin without that?
- Easy, don't run any commands you don't intend on seeing through.
  
  Just bg everything, like I've got time to wait for an ls to get back to me when zooming around the dark infoscape

- CTRL + crew. It's the only way to be sure
- Ctrl+z followed by kill %1?
I'm a Shift + Insert kind of guy
- I use ViM, so y and p are all I need.
  
  Sharing system clipboard with buffer 0 changed my life
- Middle mouse button checking in

  It can be more convenient with Dvorak.
Got it. No cat or mv allowed.
Also, CTRL-C and CTRL-Z just reduce your productivity by allowing multitasking.

Vim and Emacs users both offended, but not for the same keys.
