Turns out my terminal was setup to paste with ctrl-v so the shortcut was being intercepted by the terminal, so micro could not catch it. Sorry about that. I'm closing the issue.

Actually micro still catches it, but as a "paste event", not as a normal key event.

So in fact we might consider implementing recording those terminal's paste events together with key events (so that e.g. paste via middle mouse click would be recorded as well), if there are users that want it.
