I am trying to configure copy / paste actions using ctrl+shift+c/p, as is done on the GNOME terminal, but for urxvt. I did not find a simple solution - it seems that it always requires scripts, hacks, etc., which annoys me when it comes to such basic things. That's why I am wondering if it is possible to simply modify / add some entries in ~/.Xresourceto move the default behavior from ctrl+alt+c/pto ctrl+shift+c/p- since the first is already working as expected.
In addition, there are many concepts regarding the clipboard itself: X calls them "selection", not "clipboards"; there is a choice of PRIMARY and CLIPBOARD; etc. I don’t quite understand all these subtleties - so feel free to be detailed!
I am using an Xorg server with i3 WM if it makes sense and rxvt-unicode v9.22 - released: 2016-01-23
