Ubuntu – How to bind super-c and super-v to copy and paste in gnome-terminal

gnomegnome-terminalkeyboardshortcut-keys

I want to use Super + C instead of Ctrl + Shift + C for gnome terminal copy and paste. I've set this up in Preferences -> Shortcuts, but it doesn't seem to work.

Other Super shortcuts like Super + T for new tab work correctly.

Anyone know how to fix this?

You can achieve using xmodmap commands:

remove mod4 = Super_L
keysym Super_L = Control_L
add Control = Control_L

Save the above lines as super_as_ctrl.xmodmap. Test by executing

xmodmap super_as_ctrl.xmodmap

To make the change permanent (surviving re-login/reboot) just rename the file to .Xmodmap in your home folder.

(Tested on Ubuntu 14.x live system)

PS: You could also make use of other windows button. Not sure how to do that.
