Description of the new feature/enhancement

Ctrl + C should not fire the kill signal when text is highlighted in the terminal.
I feel like this would be more natural to use, cmder and conemu both implement it this way. I can highlight a bunch of text and use Ctrl + C to copy said highlighted text, it may unhighlight the text as a confirmation.
