the main shortcut modifier key on macs is command. the main shortcut modifier key on unix is control. when apple went unix, they didn't coalese control-c and such into the mac's command-c in the terminal, so mac users who unix a lot are developing a dual-namespaced muscle memory which is, quite frankly, bullshit. (i say this as a many-decades mac user.)
now i swap left alt and left control so that the mac-shaped modifier patterns work on all other computers, and it works fine,except for 1 thing

@fluffy i have remapped the caps lock key to control, yes, but that's not the point, and this is not about apple. this is about the fact that every other OS uses control as modifier in the GUI.

It certainly looks like it's about apple. Who do you think decides what to bind in the Mac terminal to C-c? Microsoft?
Anyway it's your fault for using the left control, ever, to begin with. Really you should be ashamed.
