Ctrl+Shift+C and Ctrl+Shift+V should do the same things as Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V to minimize surprise when working with the console

Reported by luke.hu...@gmail.com, Jun 22 2016

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Fedora; Linux x86_64; rv:46.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/46.0

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Be working with both the console and Chrome at the same time
2. Do lots of copying and pasting back and forth between the console and Chrome
3. Observe that you frequently accidentally bring up the Developer Console (Ctrl+Shift+C) when you meant to copy text from the browser, because the console shortcuts for copy/paste are Ctrl+Shift+C and Ctrl+Shift+V rather than Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V

What is the expected behavior?
Ctrl+Shift+C and Ctrl+Shift+V should just do the same thing as Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V in Chrome.

What went wrong?
It would be ideal if Ctrl+Shift+C and Ctrl+Shift+V just did the same thing as Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V in Chrome, so that Chrome does what was probably intended, even if you accidentally get the Shift key state wrong. This would make it much easier to work with the console.

Note that Ctrl+Shift+V already pastes (without formatting) in many applications, so there is some sort of precedent for this. There's no real reason to copy without formatting, but at least Chrome could simply copy as normal if you accidentally have the Shift key down.

Did this work before? N/A
