Hello I can't find the option to reassign shortcuts in xfce4-terminal 0.6.3. I'd like to reassign ctrl+c to copy, ctrl+v to paste and ctrl+shift+c to kill process. I know I can do that easily under gnome-terminal but since I'm using xfce I would like to avoid installing all the dependencies for gnome-terminal. Any idea on how to achieve that ?

The accepted answer doesn't work anymore (for example with
xfce4-terminal0.8.7.4 on Lubuntu 18.04.2) because of a GTK3 change, as described on How to change key bindings for xfce-terminal?. It seems that the only way to change the keyboard shortcuts is by modifying the configuration file,~/.config/xfce4/terminal/accels.scm.Open the file, search for “copy”, and replace
; (gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/terminal-window/copy" "<Primary><Shift>c")with(gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/terminal-window/copy" "<Primary>c").That is: change the shortcut, but also remove the semicolon at the beginning of the beginning of the line. (It's a comment delimiter.)
The same for “paste”: replace
; (gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/terminal-window/paste" "<Primary><Shift>v")with(gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/terminal-window/paste" "<Primary>v").Restart the terminal.
