The Elementary OS terminal has two function copy/paste. If text is selected it copies it, if not pass Ctrl+C to the terminal. It's a reasonable solution.
For me it's the overall Command-key semantics that I miss when using Linux. I like being able to use readline shortcuts in any text field (Ctrl+A, Ctrl+E, etc.) macOS really nails it there and no desktop environments on Linux even attempt to replicate the feel.
The other thing I miss is how VS Code's text navigation shortcuts work. The modifier combinations of selecting text, navigating (with or without a selection), moving and copying text selections and how that interacts with multiple cursors are totally different on Windows and Linux. I'm not sure if it's even possible without the Command key (super) because of how the super key is treated in Linux.
It's all very depressing and makes me feel held hostage on macOS because of my muscle memory. I don't like how Apple treats me.
