Description ivan 2016-08-11 06:03:52 UTC 
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.
