We have a bug filed against the Debian package of perl-tk [1] which says
that "CAPS-LOCK + Ctrl + c does not copy into clipboard in TextUndo". I've
checked cut/paste in Windows XP applications and it does indeed work there.

I've investigated and found that these key bindings are set in MainWindow.pm
and are thus active for the whole application.

The bindings for cut, copy, paste, undo, and redo are set differently for
different display managers (x11, win32, aqua and classic).

My question is: should we add the <Control> + <shift> + c (and other)
bindings and if so to which display types? The patch is quite simple, it's
deciding on the policy that is difficult and I am not familiar enough with
the different display systems to know what is considered "usual" behaviour.

Comments and suggestions welcome.
