fix(xremap): use globalRemap for code editors instead of terminalClipboardRemap

[shunkakinoki]

Summary

• Code editors (Cursor/VS Code) were using terminalClipboardRemap, which remapped Ctrl+C -> Ctrl+Shift+C and Framework+C/V -> Ctrl+Shift+C/V
• This broke copy/paste since code editors use Ctrl+C/V natively (the Ctrl+Shift+C/V convention is only for terminal emulators)
• Switched code editors to globalRemap so Framework+C/V correctly becomes Ctrl+C/V and bare Ctrl+C/V passes through unmodified

Test plan

• Rebuild NixOS config (sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake .)
• Verify Framework+C/V works for copy/paste in Cursor/VS Code
• Verify Ctrl+C/V still works in Cursor/VS Code
• Verify Framework+C/V still maps to Ctrl+Shift+C/V in Ghostty

Summary by cubic

Fixes copy/paste in Cursor and VS Code by switching code editors from terminalClipboardRemap to globalRemap in xremap.

Framework+C/V now maps to Ctrl+C/V and bare Ctrl+C/V passes through; terminal emulators keep their Ctrl+Shift+C/V behavior.

PR Summary

Fixes broken copy/paste in Cursor/VS Code by switching the xremap keymap entry for code editors from terminalClipboardRemap (which forced Ctrl+C -> Ctrl+Shift+C and Framework+C/V -> Ctrl+Shift+C/V) to plain globalRemap, so Framework+C/V now yields Ctrl+C/V and bare Ctrl+C/V passes through unmodified. The integrated VS Code terminal continues to handle its own SIGINT-vs-copy behavior internally, and other blocks (Ghostty, Slack, Global) are unaffected.

• Changed remap on the "Framework Command (Code Editors)" keymap block from terminalClipboardRemap to globalRemap in home-manager/modules/xremap/default.nix.
• Updated the comment on that block to describe the new standard Ctrl+C/V behavior and note that the integrated terminal manages its own clipboard shortcuts.

Issues

1 potential issue found:

• The Code Editors keymap block now uses globalRemap, which is identical to the trailing Global fallback block — for codeEditorAppIds this entry is functionally redundant. Consider either removing it or leaving a comment noting it's kept as a hook for future editor-specific tweaks. → Autofix

A hop, a key, a tiny swap,
Ctrl+C now beats terminal-drop,
No more Shift to clip my prose,
Just globalRemap, and off it goes! 🐇✨

Code Review

This pull request updates the xremap configuration for code editors (Cursor/VS Code) in home-manager/modules/xremap/default.nix. It changes the remap behavior from terminalClipboardRemap to globalRemap to allow standard Ctrl+C/V shortcuts for copy and paste, noting that the integrated terminal manages its own clipboard shortcuts. There are no review comments, and I have no feedback to provide.

Redundant with the Global fallback: globalRemap here produces the exact same output as the unfiltered Framework Command (Global) block at line 139, so this entry no longer changes behavior for Cursor/VS Code — the Global block would catch them anyway. Not a bug (the fix is correct), but the block currently only serves as documentation of intent. Consider either dropping it or adding a comment that it's intentionally kept as a hook for future editor-specific tweaks.
