I am using Ubuntu 12.04. I was tinkering around learning the commands and stuff in terminal. I was a bit irritated that I couldn't copy and paste using only the keyboard. So I googled on how to add these shortcuts to my terminal.. I came upon these commands on DistroGeeks:
gconftool-2 -s /apps/gnome-terminal/keybindings/copy -t str 'c'
for adding Ctrl + C to copy...
