[OSX] Command-V to paste text into Jace is ignored and treated as `v` #6

OSX uses the native Command-V to paste text. Jace ignores it and generates a plain v instead.

That's because command and option are open/close apple and overlap the Apple+C shortcut that some apps might use. However, there are ZERO apple programs that can detect the presence of SHIFT so most of the shortcuts in Jace actually use ctrl+shift as the modifier instead.

For example ctrl+shift+c opens configuration, crtl+shift+v pastes system clipboard to the emulator as keystrokes, and so on. If you have the friendly help-screen active it tells you some of these on boot and others it hints that you can find by opening the configuration with ctrl+shift+c, and so on.
