3081	mcedit command to copy to X11 clipboard	pfalcon		"With nice enhancements to XTerm paste, it would be nice to have mc-internal command to copy to X11 clipboard. There's no replacement for that by selecting console text and using terminal emulator copy command. Consider for example that with visible tabs/spaces it won't be usable at all (and that's cool feature of mcedit which I have all the time, hope other folks who work with multiple codebases and projects either). Even if it's not on, copying via termemu will not preserve tabs, and taht's again important when working with multiple projects with different codestyles.

Finally, mcedit clipfile could offer limited workaround (when copying from mcedit to mcedit, but what about copying to other apps/other machines?) - but even that has issues: #3080.

So, direct X11 clipboard is really needed to make mcedit completely comfortable to work in contemporary environment. And the issue is two-fold: first technically implement that, and then assign good key combo to it. Ctrl+Alt+C seems like both doable and intuitive enough (with Ctrl+Shifc+C being gnome terminal, etc. Copy).
