Most app shortcuts are Ctrl+Shift+letter (macOS ⌘⇧+letter). Plain Ctrl+letter is left to the terminal (Claude Code, shells) and the editor. The exceptions are Ctrl+P and Ctrl+number, so in a terminal, recall previous input with the up arrow instead of Ctrl+P.
Work wherever the focus is, including terminals and the editor.

On Windows Ctrl+C interrupts instead of copying, so copy is Ctrl+Shift+C. On macOS copy is ⌘C, so the two don’t collide.
Work only while the Files mode tree has focus. This clipboard stays inside the app and is not shared with the system clipboard.
