Please note that Ctrl-Shift-C and Ctrl-Shift-V will *not* work as
you expect in traditional terminal emulators.  Although, with the
number of different programs in Debian, I'm willing to accept that
it may work in at least *one* terminal.

In a typical terminal emulator, Ctrl-Shift-C will do exactly the same
thing as Ctrl-C (which is normally "send the interrupt signal"), and
Ctrl-Shift-V will do the same thing as Ctrl-V (which is normally
"prevent the special meaning of the next key and treat it literally").

Generally, if you're coming from a Microsoft Windows tradition, you may
have better luck using Shift-Insert for pasting.  This works in many
terminals, as well as almost all of the Big Windows-Style Applications
such as web browsers.
