Term uses Ctrl-Shift-C/Ctrl-Shift-V because the usual Ctrl-C/Ctrl-V mean different things under UNIX. You know what Ctrl-C does. Ctrl-V is used to escape control characters usually inside editors. However, on the MAa the convention is to use Meta-C and Meta-V and Term doesn't honor these. I think these need to be fixed in org.netbeans.modules.terminal.nb.actions.CopyAction and such but I'm not familiar enough with the latest newfangled annotation stuff to do dynamic platform-specific keystroke binding.
