Re: Copy/Paste/Cut defaults to ctrl + c, v, x as most other software.

 

Hi Maciej,
yes please!

I have been busy with some other patch and I could not find the time
to get back to this one. I would it really appreciate if you could
apply my patch including Weyne comments. Please mind that the same
patch includes some copy icon fixes too.

Cheers
Fabrizio
