I still maintain this is why macOS is the best OS for terminal work -- all the common keybindings for GUI tools use a different modifier key, so e.g. ⌘C and ⌘W work the same in your terminal as they do in your browser.
(Lots of the readline/emacs-style editing keybindings work everywhere in macos as well -- ^A, ^E, ^K, ^Y, but not ^U for some reason)
100% agree, and I am surprised I do not see this mentioned more often. I came up on Linux and then had to use MacOS for a job and got used to the cmd / ctrl separation and now I cannot use a terminal on Linux without major pain. I've tried a few of the key rebinding options and they all feel klunky.
