I think most programs implement both, although they only show the newer
Ctrl+C/X/V etc in the menus.
A new MFC applications automatically implements both.
As I remember, the Ins+Del was defined in the good old
Common User Access (CUA) 1989 by IBM for OS/2 and
was also used in the very first Windows versions.
I think the popularity of the Mac shortcuts (Command+C/X/V)
made many programs support these too, and finally emphasize them.
So the answer is, you should support these:
Ctrl+Ins or Ctrl+C Copy the selected text to the clipboard
Shift+Del or CtrlX Delete the selected text and put it on the clipboard
Shift+Ins or Ctrl+V Paste text from the Clipboard into window
Ctrl+Z or Alt+Backspace Undo the last editing action
The CUA 1989 also defined F1 (Help), Alt+F4 (Close), Ctrl+F4 (Close in MDI),
F5 (Refresh), Shift+F10 (Context Menu (has now its own key on many keyboards)).
