Why in consoles, when you press the ctrl key, it says ctrl?

Question

terminal emulator

Good evening, tell me why you can’t copy commands to the console through the control, why did you make it possible that when you click on the control, it would write control + v there?

Answer 1

Because terminals were around long before GUIs, where CTRL+V became the hotkey for pasting. And you need to ask the question differently: "Why did you choose the combination CTRL + V to paste the text?".
