On windows it's common to use CTRL+V and SHIFT+INS to copy and past text into
text fields.

The PDE editor uses some special fields or intercepts key bindings. However, the
shortcuts do not work in text fields on the Extension page for editing extenion
properties (attributes).

Example:
Open PDE editor -> Extensions -> org.eclipse.ui.bindings -> new "key" -> select
"commandId"

-> now open an external editor (notepad or textpad) 
-> enter some text there, select this text and press CTRL+C/X or SHIFT+DEL
-> switch back to PDE editor
-> try to paste this into "commandId" with CTRL+V or SHIFT+INS 
-> does not work
-> right click on the field "commandId", select "Paste"
-> does work
