Description careta 2009-11-04 11:48:53 UTC 
I'm a long time user of gnome-terminal and I love it. However, since version 2.24 (i think) the old CTRL + C behaviour was removed.

The old CTRL + C behaviour is as follows:
- When text is selected in the terminal, that text is copied 
- When text is not selected, a SIGINT is sent to the terminal

I understand that this behaviour was introduced to solve bug #559728 and why this may annoy some users. But is there any chance you could do an option to restore the old behaviour for old users like me?

Thanks in advance.

Ctrl-C never copied unless you assigned it that way yourself in the keybindings editor. The default keybinding for copy is Ctrl-Shift-C.

On the other hand, if you did assign it that way yourself, as MANY people do, the original behaviour which has been broken was there for a reason. While bug #559278 was indeed a bug, since the behaviour described above wrongly applied to Ctrl-Shift-C, the correct fix would have been to stop that happening and make it more specific, leaving the feature intact.
