Haiku should be about sane defaults. Control C for copy, etc is
default for Windows as well as gnome and kde on linux, even though it
does something else in terminal. We'll probably get a number of people
wondering why copying doesn't 'work.'
On the other hand, people will be asking about a great many things
since haiku doesn't try to be a windows clone.
