Keyboard shortcuts are not notable on their own. This should instead redirect to one of these three options: Cut, copy, and paste, Cut, copy, and paste#Common keyboard shortcuts, or Control key. Momo824 (talk) 06:59, 24 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

These pages should also redirect to one of those three options:

Keep. Nominator asserts that keyboard combinations are not notable, however this assertion is not grounded in policy. Ctrl-C is extensively in literature. Most definitely should not be redirected to copy-paste, as on many systems (e.g. UNIX, DOS) Ctrl-C is bound "cancel" which means the running program is terminated.--Eostrix (^{🦉 hoot} _hoot🦉) 08:21, 24 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Control-C is also very common break character SIGINT (POSIX) for operation system terminals functioning similar to the break key on PC keyboards or the run/stop, r/s or stop key on some early 8-bit computers and calculators. PaleAqua (talk) 08:30, 24 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - No evidence given for lack-of-notability claim. A WP:BEFORE search indicates otherwise. ~Kvng (talk) 21:14, 24 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Higly notable topic. Nominators claim that "Keyboard shortcuts are not notable on their own" simply is not true, pretty much anything can be notable.★Trekker (talk) 18:13, 25 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
