Yeah, the problem is, I am likely to use copy/paste to terminal a lot more than 
between domains in day-to-day work, and there aren't a ton of other, simple 
one-handed shortcuts. Shift+insert is awful. 

It's unfortunate that ctrl+c is so overloaded (being the kill command for 
terminals). I *think* what I'd like to do is use Windows_Key (Meta) + C for 
copy, but so far I haven't figured out how to get that to work. "Meta" didn't 
work in the config file noted above. Maybe I'll end up going Meta+C for the 
terminal copy. Need to circle back to this...
