Description
Allow the usage of the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + v to paste items into the Terminal. I know many of us copy commands from websites (mostly ubuntu forums for me) and paste them into the Terminal, and keyboard shortcuts are a preferred way to do it.

In gnome-terminal you can use SHIFT-CTRL-V
See Edit->Keyboard shortcuts to change this to your own liking.

Shift-Insert also works.

It would be great to have both systems? Ctrl-C Ctrl-V and "selecting""middle-click" should have the same effect.

in a term, ctrl-c sends the TERM signal (kills the app). This is why it can not be bound to copy.

CTRL+C has (for many years) been used to kill foreground programs. If you change that to "copy" then you'll cause as much (if not more) issues than leaving it be.

Well then, seems I've made a dumb suggestion, but have found a way to get what I want, so thank you all. Oh, and vote down the hell out of my suggestion.

So because a bunch of old timers are unwilling to change thier ways we have to have an antiquated keyboard short-cut. Way to be on the cutting edge Ubuntu!! This is ridiculous.

When you open the Edit menu both shortcuts are shown to you.
please keep +C killing foreground programs

If you want to use Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V for cut and paste you can use Alt-F2 > gconf-editor > apps > gnome-terminal > keybindings > look for copy and paste > right-click > edit key > delete
