I think it actually is, in the context of the text that was a reply to.
You deleted that; the relevant quote is

>>> [...] ctrl-c which is supposed to kill command line processes.

It specifically mentions "command line processes", which require a
commmand line, and thus something ttyish - combined with "a GUI
environment", this presumably means a terminal emulator window.

Depends on how gschem is started.  Not that that's really relevant to
what I wrote, which was a response to the assertion that ^C was
supposed to kill command-line processes.

Certainly for lots of people who _do_ use terminal emulator windows,
the risk of typing a ^C into the wrong window and killing something by
mistake is real regardless of what UI standard you prefer to listen to,
so making the "copy" gesture user-configurable is a perfectly
reasonable desire.  I know I've typed into the wrong window often
enough, and can't believe I'm alone in that.
