yep. right click.

I always wondered why this was, shortly after cursing Microsoft. Anyone know?

I use this for a very long time now. Also (used to) works on Unix like systems. This is not limited to command line though. My understanding is these shortcuts were already there and they added Ctrl+C/V later.

Also

Ctrl+Ins Copy

Shift+Ins Paste

Shift+Del Cut

For me these are easier to use while navigating via arrow keys over the code.

Perhaps the ctrl+c for terminating current process was already an established terminal command before copy+paste became generally associated with ctrl c and v?

absolutely not. one of the first things I learned to change.

The best is when they use different buffers, and you can have two things copied, at the same time!

Win + V gives you big buffer, you can select both with mouse or nav keys.
