System Settings: Shortcuts: Common Actions: Edit: shows Ctrl+Ins as a binding for Copy

SUMMARY
Across virtually all KDE and Windows applications a user can use either ctrl+c or ctrl+ins to copy selected content. Similarly users can use ctrl+v or shift+ins to paste content.

Within Konsole, ctrl+c and ctrl+v are unbound as they are commonly used for terminal applications for sending commands in curses apps or in the case of ctrl+c sending SIGINT to terminate a program.   Konsole instead binds ctrl+shift+c and ctrl+shift+v to copy and paste. 

Konsole users can use the shift+ins combo to paste within Konsole (bound as a alt shortcut), however for some reason the ctrl+ins combo for copy is not bound breaking consistency with the Common Actions: Edit: Copy shortcuts (see attached screenshot).

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open any application other than console, select some content ctrl+ins to copy, shift+ins to paste
2. Open Konsole select some content, ctrl+ins to copy, shift+ins to paste

OBSERVED RESULT
In all other apps your content will be copied and pasted
In Konsole your content won't be copied, however whatever you have in your clipboard will be pasted

EXPECTED RESULT
Konsole should copy when ctrl+ins is pressed and paste what was copied.
