Without sounding a bit recalcitrant, this is something we will never do.
QCTerm is designed to look to the future, not the past. Windows made a hard
left turn a few years ago and adopted the Macintosh key sequences -- and in
the process dropped all of its oddities, the Cntl-Ins, Shift-Ins being prime
among them. No modern Windows product uses these sequences any longer.

In QCTerm, everything is made to be as simple as it possibly can be -- and as
similar as it can be to the other common Windows-based PC programs. The
Insert key means "insert", the Delete key means "delete", Cntl+Insert means
insert a line, Cntl+Delete means delete a line, continuing the universal
theme of having the Control key be the primary (and for most people, the
sole) modifier key.

The menu is not the only choice. You can use the Alt key sequences as well
(Alt+E C for copy, Alt+E P for paste).
