ctrl+c  for copy
ctrl+v for past

why we can't use ctrl+c and ctrl+v in window console? this confuses me for years. the copy and paste are very painful comparing with Mac and Linux, which is the primary reason why I give up development in Windows.

also , I'd like to add some global keyboard shortcuts that works for console and for the whole Windows system. can we do this?

ctrl+a for jump to line head
ctrl+e for jump to line end

Is this a duplicate to #3058 ? Also, the settings file list the keyboard shortcuts in the configuration if you're looking for what exists.

You can set these key bindings yourself in your settings file. Thanks!

(except for ctrl+a/e across all of Windows. The terminal team isn't staffed to go add emacs keybindings to all edit controls across the entire OS. sorry.)
