Mind bogglingly infuriating
You can type reset to fix your terminal if it gets messed up like that.
Does anyone know how to fix it in bash?
Why is your user flagged as a bot account? You certainly aren't behaving like a bot.
Maybe it's because I join and in a few day I create several communities and commented into too much. I am just trying to replace Reddit lol
There's a "Bot Account" checkbox in your user profile settings. You should be able to just deselect it, and you'll be a normal user.
It works for me, which terminal are you using?

readline vim mode would like to have a word...
What happens to me is the opposite. I got used to Ctrl+w to delete a word in terminal and accidentally closed browser tabs many times while typing in them.
SO TRUE OMG, also why the hell does it have to use ctrl + shift for shortcuts aaaa
CTRL-C has been the default key combination to terminate a running process, since forever. Reassigning it to “copy selection” would be very inconvenient.
I like the solution of the ElementaryOS terminal: when you press CTRL-C, it does “the right thing” depending on the context.
ohhh shoot thats cool! ty for the info :)
Train yourself to use edit-and-execute and this problem disappears forever. Now I'm annoyed when I type "esc v v" and nothing happens.
