This is mostly: /dup #2285 #2749

Additionally, keyboard selection is in spec currently at /dup #2840, with the original issue being /dup #715.

From elsewhere in #2749:

Don't do that, just add a keybinding for copy (that was my bad the action is copy not copyText).

{ "command": "copy", "keys": ["ctrl+c"] },
{ "command": "paste", "keys": ["ctrl+v"] }

should do the trick.

You can set the keybinding to whatever you want. Ctrl+C, Ctrl+Shift+C, Shift+Insert.
