Why don't keyboards have copy and paste buttons?
Seriously, print screen, scroll lock, whatever the context menu button is called? Heck, even caps lock is less useful. -

@Edelruth yep, I know. That's two buttons though. My point is, there are probably 10+ keys on a keyboard you never use, as in, literally never. And yet you probably copy/paste dozens of times per day.
One reason I mentioned caps lock is because it's a button most people very rarely use but which has a toggled state - seems like a good fit for press once for copy, press again for paste. -
