 ## Required behavior
 
-- Copying a selected terminal region with standard browser shortcuts (`Ctrl/Cmd+C`) copies text to the system clipboard without sending an interrupt to the terminal.
+- Copying a selected terminal region with `Ctrl+Shift+C` copies text to the system clipboard without sending input to the terminal.
+- `Ctrl+C` remains a terminal interrupt, including when output is selected.
 - Copy requests expose the xterm selection as plain text.
 - Pasting plain text is handled once and follows bracketed-paste mode when enabled.
 - Normal terminal interrupts still work when there is no active selection.
