Most Windows applications bind control-insert and shift-insert to copy and paste respectively. The Swing Windows L&F or perhaps the Basic L&F should provide these bindings.
Comments
EVALUATION
The Windows L&F already has these bindings for text components (except JFormattedTextField), but not for JList, JTable or JTree. Metal L&F does not have them at all, nor does Basic, Synth, or GTK.
To resolve this bug, these bindings:
control-insert (for copy)
shift-insert (for paste)
shift-delete (for cut)
will be made available for:
JTextComponents
JList
JTable
JTree
under the following look and feels:
Basic
Metal
Windows
Synth
GTK
