Ctrl + C is used as an interrupt key in the Bash shell, meaning it cancels the active command or program. There is good reasoning behind this behavior in the Terminal. While this shortcuts still work on most of the Linux environment including File Manager, Text Editor, and LibreOffice suites, it won’t work in the Terminal. We all are used to Ctrl + C and Ctrl + V keyboard shortcuts when copying and pasting text within documents, file & folders copy-paste, so on and so forth.
