How can I define a global shortcuts for copy, cut and paste?

I'm used to Mac's ⌘+C for copy and ⌘+V for paste. They are global, so I can use them interchanging data between CLI and GUI apps.

How can one configure global shortcuts, e.g ⊞ Win+C (copy) and ⊞ Win+V (paste) in Ubuntu 12.04?

These are global shortcuts that work out of the box (tested with Debian 8.2) in terminals and GUI applications:

  • copy: Ctrl+Insert
  • paste: Shift+Insert
  • cut: Shift+Delete

I didn't test it but to change these shortcuts you could try: Use Shift+Insert to paste from clipboard in gnome-terminal?
