How to change terminal emulatior keyboard shortcuts?

Question

Is there a way to change command-line shortcuts such as copy and paste from Ctrl+Shift+c and Ctrl+Shift+v to Ctrl+c and Ctrl+v respectively?

I often accidently use the default system shortcuts Ctrl+c and Ctrl+v instead of those defined for command-line use, which I find very annoying, so I was wondering...

Is it possible to change the keyboard shortcuts of the terminal emulator?

Solution

Using gnome-terminal.

Go in Edit > Preferences > Shortcuts.

Then simply edit them :

With gnome-terminal?

@hg8 Ubuntu terminal, which is the gnome terminal - so yes :)

Personally I'd discourage doing that; remapping CTRL+V deprives you of the ability of sending a Synchronous idle character (maybe you won't miss that) but remapping CTRL+C deprives you of the ability of SIGINTing the foreground process in case things get out of control. It takes a bit, but you'll get used to the difference eventually.

FYI you aren't changing "command line" shortcuts but the terminal emulator's shortcuts.

Please note that those settings apply system-wide, but not on the gnome-terminal. It uses its own custom shortcuts, not those set up by the system. I think your answer is wrong.

This answer seems incompete. For one thing how do you remap the interrupt (kill) action that was originaly CTRL-C. (Also is there any way to remap all default key combinations, the preferences hardly list any.)
