Make "Ctrl + C" shortcut to copy objects in presentations more predictable and effective

As an Aha! user, I need to to copy objects in Aha! more predictably and effectively so that I can boost my productivity fourfold and get on with my tasks. Currently, the system provides a dead-end feature where when one can copy objects, upon which a system message says one should use "Ctrl + C" instead to copy objects and not the feature provided in Aha!. When I use the "Ctrl + C" shortcut, it works every other time, and so I lose at least four times the amount of time required to do a task, since I have to go back to the object and try copying it again.

The system message says the browser does not enable the clipboard. However, the clipboard is enabled for the vast majority of web-based applications in the very same browser (Microsoft Edge). Therefore, the "Ctrl + C" shortcut should function more predictably as it does not always copy the latest copied object. Instead, the "Ctrl + C" shortcut often picks a copied object from somewhere in the clipboard, which the system message says it cannot access because of the browser. To make the "Ctrl + C" effective while the copy feature in Aha! does not work as it should, the "Ctrl + C" shortcut should work as it should to compensate for an Aha! that does not work.
