No way to use keyboard shortcuts for cut and paste without a special keyboard

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Launch WIndows 7 from Parallels or VMWare Fusion of a Macbook Pro laptop
2. Launch a cygwin terminal window
3. Try to cut and paste using keyboard shortcuts

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
It seems to be impossible to use keyboard shortcuts to cut and paste.
I would expect that some keyboard shortcut would be provided for someone who 
has a minimal keyboard. It particular, I would expect that control-shift-C and 
control-shift-V would work for cut and paste, respectively, as it does on Linux.

What versions of mintty, Cygwin/MSYS, and Windows are you using?
mintty 1.0.3
cygwin 1.7.9
Windows OS Name Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium Version    6.1.7601 Service Pack 
1 Build 7601

Please provide any additional information below.

Shift+Insert is the default shortcut for pasting. Apparently Mac keyboards 
don't have an Insert key, but Google tells me that the Help key acts as the 
Insert key when used with Windows.

The Ctrl+Shift+letter shortcuts can be enabled on the Keys page of mintty's 
options. Another possibility is to use the menu key (located between right Alt 
and Ctrl on Windows keyboards) with 'P'.
