If we had that then I wouldn't need the context menu copy bug fixed.

Is copying via Ctrl-Ins an unexpected thing for new users? It makes good sense for old users, but for anyone coming from an Explorer background, it's pretty bizarre.

They would more logically expect to find such an operation in the existing copy commands. Eg, use the existing commands up to the point where you specify. At that point you could proceed as normal, or choose an option to "Add to Windows paste buffer".
