These Ctrl keys are shortcuts from Emacs - there's a Bash settings to switch to vi-mode if you so wish. Anyway, the first Emacs was written in 1981, probably on a PDP-11, which did not have Home and End! Same reason Neovim uses "yank" instead of "copy".
ctrl-c/ctrl-vdid not exist as a shortcut back when vi was being written!I know you didn't intend to be mean or anything, but maaaaaan kids these days don't know their history (not entirely your fault, btw)😆
