The date on that publication is 1987. So what you're asking for is, why didn't people in the 1970s anticipate this future de facto standard?
- permo-w 4y agowhat an odd assumption I'm suggesting that the de facto standard behaviour should be respected, or made opt-out. what people did or thought in the 1970s isn't relevant to that

- floydnoel 4y agoThe standard behavior, is for C-c to send SIGTERM. You’re advocating to change that standard to a new standard. Why should your preference take priority over decades of standardization? Shouldn’t the old standard be respected, or made opt-out?
- permo-w 4y agoI don't believe so. why? because those shortcuts are the standard across practically every program that is not a terminal
- drekipus 4y ago> because those shortcuts are the standard across practically every program that is not a terminal. Shift + insert works far more ubiquitously. C-c doesn't work on electron apps for me.
