Linux copy paste
combinations of Insert, Del, Shift & Control keys for copy/cut/paste
= part of the CUA standard ( IBM Common User Access )
cross-platform cut and paste shortcuts
However usage of ctr/shift + insert for copy/paste does not work in some linux apps
works always fine in :
obsedian (appimage)
notepadqq
brave browser
vivaldi browser
Keepass
does never work in linux terminals (all of them?)
not in gnome-terminal , terminator, xterminal
this is by design , as they emulate TTY consoles from the sixties
ctrl + shift + C / V / T do work however

does not work in certain cases in :
kate / xed / nemo FM / tor / (have these something in common ?)
after a system reboot it is “fixed” ;
? Is this related to :
- numlock lights sometines not worhing ? ( that is more likely an usb scan/reset issue )
- application ? ==> unlikely , different apps have the same problem , and after reboot , it works again
- frameworks / graphical library /desktop ? ( app uses gnome versus QT library or directly X-11 window libraries ? )
xed : C (+python?) / GTK3 kate : [KDE] C++ / Qt Nemo : C / GTK
- caused by installation of CopyQ clipboard manager ? ==> no , also the case when CopyQ is closed
