I've almost gotten into the habit of hitting Ctrl+Shift+C when I want to copy something because of that.

I do that all the time. Opens up developer tools on firefox if you do it.

That solution ish the worst. Ctrl-shift-c does a shitload of different things in different programs, and in browsers it does different things per page.

Ctrl-ins, shift-ins, shift-del for the win bit THEN some programs simply refuse to support that.

I have like 4 different copy paste short cuts because of this and it sucks

I'm not saying it's great, but at least in my use I haven't seen it being destructive/disruptive like Ctrl+C is.

Ctrl-c for copying is a windows thing and it's annoying.

Do you at least have 4 clipboards to go with them? Because I don't think I could ever go back to a single clipboard.

I use standard Linux dual clipboard (Ctrl ins and just select, middle click) but most extra clipboards I've seen require a lot of extra clicking to get the work done. I want something simple stupid fast.

I'm running windows for my daily, but I've got Ditto and it works great. I have like 3 clipboards set up, could set up more. It just needs a different hotkey combination. It's really simple.
