Ofir:
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.
