Shift+Ctrl+C / Shift+Ctrl+V don't work - Corresponding menu items are grayed out. #364

Expected behaviour

It should be possible to copy and paste with Shift+Ctrl+C and Shift-Ctrl+V. If there is a configuration item that turns these off, it should be exposed in the Profile Preferences dialog so I can control it.

Actual behaviour

Observe that the Copy and Paste menu items are grayed out: image

Therefore, the corresponding keyboard shortcuts don't work. It doesn't matter what key you bind to the function.

Copy is intermittently unavailable, but Paste is never available.

However, the Copy and Paste options in the right-click menu are available when there is a selection or data on the clipboard, respectively.

  1. Start up MATE

Using Shift+Ctrl+C shortcut for copying the selected text on terminal works fine.
