If you're using Linux, you can do this easily with custom key bindings.
is Ctrl c and Ctrl v too hard for OP? it's damn near universal with no extra effort to setup...
There are some work that requires me to copy and paste a lot of times, after a while, it kind of strains the fingers a bit.
autohotkey
point is, this already exists, no reason to add special keys when there are already work arounds for people that want it different.
Doesn't work in Linux consoles.
nearly every console requires including SHIFT if it doesn't work like normal, even truenas shell. add that to your toolkit, will be good.
CTRL + SHIFT + V also gives you paste options and paste without formatting, so it's already superior.
Yes, it's weird, but maybe he does a lot. For example, I use the superkey+space to change the keyboard layout about five times per minute, but I changed it to use the Caps Lock key to change the keyboard layout instead.
On linux middle mouse is traditionally paste, with just selecting text being copy.
This is one of the greatest features ever. I constantly use it. I always get screwed up if I end up on a windows system and select text and wonder why I can't paste it with a click.
AutoHotKey on Windows is very good also.
