The keyboard shortcut Ctrl+` (Ctrl+backtick) doesn't work in Linux based terminals like urxvt, gnome-terminal, xfce-terminal, Git Bash on Windows, etc.
Is this a bug or a feature?
All other applications like Emacs and VS Code accept this keybinding.
Following keybinding works for my xterm/ubuntu:
#!/bin/bash
xrdb -merge << 'EOF'
XTerm*VT100.translations: #override\n\
Ctrl <Key>` : string("ls -la")string(0x0d)
EOF
# then start a new xterm
With some adaptation, it should work for urxvt and xfce-terminal.
Update
For xfce4-terminal, you can put following line in ~/.config/xfce4/terminal/accels.scm
(gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/terminal-window/paste" "<Primary>grave")
So that Ctrl-` will paste.

To clarify, when entering the default shell in OS X it appears as:
pcname:~ username$
and changing directories appears as:
pcname:myFolder~ username$
however, in my experience with linux distros, the shell appears as:
username#pcname:~$
what is the purpose for the differences in syntax?
What I do is the following: On the system that has the promt the way I want it, I type:
echo $PS1
I copy the result, say, \u#\h \w\a \$ and then edit the ~/.bashrc on the system that I want to use with the line:
export PS1="\u#\h \w\a \$ "
And then I get the same prompt on that system as well.

How do I get the copy/paste functionality in a terminal session in Linux (i. e. with no desktop at all, like when you press Alt+Ctrl+F1 in Ubuntu)? Is there a package that could substitute Ctrl+Shift+C and Ctrl+Shift+V functionality that exists in desktop terminals?
You can look at xclip in Linux:
echo hello | xclip
To copy to the clipboard. Then:
xclip -o
to paste it. Depending on what you want to do, there are also the crtl+u to cut a line from the terminal, and crtl+y to paste it (on the same terminal only though).
Hope it helps!

basically I want to set a shortcut (ctrl+k) in my cygwin linux terminal to run
bind '"\C-k": kill-whole-line'
THEN immediately run
alias cls="echo -e '\033c\c'"
Both work by themselves but I would like to do it in one keyboard shortcut. Thanks in advance!
This sequence clear current input and executes terminal reset.
bind '"\C-k": "\C-e\C-uecho -e \"\\033c\\c\"\n"'

When I use the unix screen command to open a screen and I run a unix command (say ls), the text at the top disappears and I can only see what comes at the end of the output. How can I capture the complete output in the window?
Using Screen capabilities:
Ctrl+a then escape and you'll be able to move your cursor as in regular text editors

I just switched my shell from bash to zsh and I noticed that zsh is not using same version of vim that I use in bash. Wondering why that might be the case? Do I need to set some config?
EDIT
remove other stuffs
You either have defined an alias for vim in one of them, or the value of the PATH variable is different.
