<p dir="auto">Behavior in the vast majority of editors/programs is that if you execute the 'Copy' command (Control/Command + C) when no text is selected is that nothing happens.</p>
<p dir="auto">Atom instead copies the current line. There's already a nice duplicate-line command, making the behavior not quite necessary.</p>
<p dir="auto">The real annoyance is that many, many times I mean to press Ctrl-V but I press Ctrl-C instead. So I lose my selection and have to go copy the original text again.</p>
<p dir="auto">It's too frequent that someone might accidentally hit the 'c' key instead of the 'v' key when pasting in atom.</p>
<p dir="auto">instead of copying empty space, the copy shortcut should simply not do anything.</p>
<p dir="auto">I can write the pull request myself if someone can point me in the right direction, either way if we could  improve this very annoying problem it would be great!</p>
