OK, y'all, Real Cataloger here, one who uses the Advanced Bib Editor all the
time--like, all the time.

Please, please, please change Ctrl-C to conform to the standard behavior of all
the other software applications.

I do appreciate people thinking it might be confusing to have the "Koha Ctrl C"
implemented in all its weirdness and then change it, but here are my arguments:

--We catalogers are *not* using Koha in a vacuum; we are using Koha alongside
many other applications within which Ctrl-C is behaving consistently, such as
OCLC software, MarcEdit, spreadsheets, databases, text editors, web browsers,
etc.--it's what we do.  Then we pop into Koha and it's, "Oh for fuschia's sake,
that's right, Koha-Ctrl-C is different."  (Please note that I'm not mentally
saying "fuschia" but am mentally thinking another word in English that is one
syllable.):)

--We catalogers copy & paste OFTEN because it is a time honored technique to
avoid typos and promote consistency.  Standardizing this behavior would speed
up our workflow by promoting consistency in keystrokes.

--Which brings me to Consistency:  We catalogers love, adore, and are
professionally committed to Consistency.  'Koha Ctrl C' is Inconsistent and
slows up every cataloger who then has to pause and think, "Oh, right...it's
Koha-Ctrl-C rather than Ctrl-C.

I would be absolutely delighted to be outvoted on this by other catalogers, but
I strongly suspect that all catalogers would vote for consistency and request
that Ctrl-C in the Advanced Bib Editor be changed to conformed with standard
practice!

As is, Koha-Ctrl-C *is* behaving in ways that are invisible to the user (i.e.,
not showing anything in the Clipboard to the lower left)--it is copying
anything highlighted or being it's own wacky non-standard self and copying the
entire MARC tag if nothing is hightlighted).  If the Koha Clipboard even showed
what Koha-Ctrl-C copied, I could see an argument for maintaining this
inconsistent behavior, but seeing as the Koha Clipboard doesn't even show what
was copied, I think this feature is broken and needs fixing, and as it needs
fixing, I advocate fixing it to standard & consistent behavior.
