I don't have a /src/ directory.

Sounds good.

I can find two copies of this file (or is one a symlink to the other?):

  find ./ -name KeyboardBar.qml
  ./opt/click.ubuntu.com/com.ubuntu.developer.flscogna.terminalreboot/0.8.027/qml/KeyboardBar.qml
  ./userdata/system-data/opt/click.ubuntu.com/com.ubuntu.developer.flscogna.terminalreboot/0.8.027/qml/KeyboardBar.qml

I tried editing
./opt/click.ubuntu.com/com.ubuntu.developer.flscogna.terminalreboot/0.8.027/qml/KeyboardRows/Layouts/ControlKeysLayout.qml
and changed the default Ctrl+ options, restarted the app and now there
is a blank menu in the terminal under Crtl. I don't think I made any
syntax mistakes, but perhaps I did:

import QtQuick 2.0
import Ubuntu.Components 1.1

import ".."

KeyboardRow {
    keyWidth: units.gu(10)
    model: [
        KeyModel {
            text: "CTRL+D"
            mainAction: Action { onTriggered: simulateKey(Qt.Key_D, Qt.ControlModifier);}
        },
        KeyModel {
            text: "CTRL+A"
            mainAction: Action { onTriggered: simulateKey(Qt.Key_A, Qt.ControlModifier);}
        },
        KeyModel {
            text: "CTRL+C"
            mainAction: Action { onTriggered: simulateKey(Qt.Key_C, Qt.ControlModifier);}
        },
        KeyModel {
            text: "CTRL+X"
            mainAction: Action { onTriggered: simulateKey(Qt.Key_X, Qt.ControlModifier);}
        }
        KeyModel {
            text: "CTRL+N"
            mainAction: Action { onTriggered: simulateKey(Qt.Key_N, Qt.ControlModifier);}
        }
        KeyModel {
            text: "CTRL+P"
            mainAction: Action { onTriggered: simulateKey(Qt.Key_P, Qt.ControlModifier);}
        }
    ]
}

I like the double tap for tab completion. 

All the best
