I'm using Linux (which isn't UNIX, is anyone using desktop UNIX?)
At least since 1998 the Ctrl-C is copy in all GUI programs including Calibre.
It's not copy in a Console and never was, but mostly not in an NT or DOS console either, only in some text mode applications.

Though the Compose Key doesn't work in the Calibre Editor. I have to open a text editor. But Ctrl C, X and V all work.
I use Compose commonly for – — … ° ′ and ″ (last two are prime and double prime for minutes or feet and seconds or inches (linear measure or fractions of degrees).
