Include Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V keybindings by default #3058

I've read the other "copy not working" bugs and the universal suggestion seems to be "just create your own keybinding".

It's quite puzzling for a Windows terminal to not come with the most commonly used Windows shortcuts ever.

I'd suggest these two are added to the product, and people can instead change (or remove them) if they wish. I guess that's a much more intuitive default.

For others wondering why they are missing, just add these two to your keybindings:

{ "command": "copy", "keys": ["ctrl+c"] },
{ "command": "paste", "keys": ["ctrl+v"] },

Just to add to the discussion: the built-in Terminal in VS Code supports this out of the box too, which is awesome.
