But then you would also need to implement an OS X variant that uses 
the, obvious to any Mac user, Command-C/X/V combination.

Now if Blender would be integrated with the OS more (as far as the UI 
goes) such changes would make sense. But as it is Blender neither has 
the "look'n'feel" of any OS I know an can thus freely use different 
conventions for the copying, imo.

That's a common Unix/Win/Mac newline character problem I guess, but for 
that and all the copy/paste and similiar problems one would either have 
to upgrade GHOST a bit or maybe step back and integrate Blender with 
the OS without the GHOST layer. And I don't think anyone is keen on 
doing that :o)

have fun!
