System Information
OS: Ubuntu 14.04
Linux kernel: 3.13.0-24-generic

Blender Version
Broken: blender-2.71-8365ceb-linux-glibc211-x86_64

Short description of error

CTRL+INSERT / SHIFT+INSERT can be used in the Text Editor for coy/paste. This shortcut should also be set for the Python Console and Info Window (currently that keybinding is unused, so there's no down-sides).

This would help homogenize Blender with some other applications that have this implemented such as: Firefox, Chromium, LibreOffice, Gedit, most terminals (I think), Gimp, etc.

I think it would also be good to have CTRL+INSERT / SHIFT+INSERT work everywhere else that CTRL+C / CTRL+V work. For example, in all the input boxes in the different windows, such as renaming an object in the Properties window, or pasting a scripted expression for a driver in the Graph Editor window.

Sergey, you added these a while back.

Note, not sure its worth having these key shortcuts everywhere in blender.

3D viewport - object mode
3D viewport - pose mode
3D viewport - text edit
Text edit field
Python console
Sequencer
FCurve
Actions
Nodes
Button Fields

Personally, I would restrict this to text editor only (maybe py console too), or just remove.

Yes, i added it a while back to be consistent with text editors. It could be nice to have the same thing in python console (together with shift-arrow selection ;), but that's it i'd say. All the rest of blender areas are quite unique and it's not really fair to try making them consistent with other text-editing specialized applications.

If it's really needed for someone, it's more matter of modifying default keymaps.

In any case it's not really a bug, but a subtask of bigger issue called "default keymap review".. Thanks for the report, but archiving it now.
