Description

[oliverthered]

pc has two standards for copy paste,
the 
CRTL+Insert for copy,
shift+Insert for paste
that works on the majority of applications on linux,dos and windows.
and the crtl+c,crtl+v that only work with newer windows applications.
the
CRTL+Insert for copy,
shift+Insert for paste
combination isn't bound to copy/paste in R12

ctrl+insert and shift+insert date back to DOS, and have never worked,
to my knowledge, anywhere outside a Microsoft OS. On the other hand, they do
work in NN 4.7, even in mixed combination with ctrl-c and ctrl-v.

This looks like another one of those pesky decisions about how much to keep
the UI strictly XP, and how much to oblige the platform/OS. Is this already
specified?

Changing summary from "non-standard key bindings for copy+paste" to
"ctrl+insert (copy) shift+insert (paste) do not work (key bindings)"

Hmm, apparently these editing keys are also used by at least some X 
Window Managers, as described in bug 25779, "[4.xP][PP]Alternate Cut/Copy/Paste 
keys do not work", ASSIGNED, M14. Marking as DUP of that bug.
