ctrl-c / ctrl-v in terminals: Elementary 'dynamic' approach?

[Adam Williamson]

I just happened to spot this post from Elementary on G+, which seemed
like an interesting take on the question of ctrl-c / ctrl-v behaviour in
terminals:

it doesn't do anything for ctrl-v, but it seems like an interesting
approach. Any thoughts on steal^V^V^V^V^Vadopting it for GNOME?

I don't use ^C for copying, but it would be rare for me to use ^C to 
stop a process while I had something selected. So this probably wouldn't 
bother me.

I would certainly welcome that change.

Seems interesting. I'm normally resistant to terminal changes
(double-click select characters change still killin' me!) but I can see
the clear value here.
