- SHIFT-CTRL-C for "Copy to..." is essentially the same as 'Save the
- currently selected data to the file chosen via the file selector
- rather than the current clipboard directory'. i.e. Save Block in an
- editor or Save Selected in an object-oriented program.
-
- SHIFT-CTRL-V for "Paste from..." is 'Merge data from the file chosen
- via the file selector at the current cursor location (if
- appropriate)'. i.e. Merge... or Insert File...
-
- These are not widely used standards but I think they might be useful.
- I could see where SHIFT-CTRL-C could also be used as Append to
- Clipboard in an editor application however that is really only useful
- (and easy to implement) in an ASCII text editor which limits its span
- to a single kind of application.
