Problem: Users cannot copy or paste text within the n8n expression editor using standard keyboard shortcuts (Ctrl+C/Ctrl+V), forcing reliance on right-click context menus.

Solution: Implement native keyboard shortcuts for copy (Ctrl+C) and paste (Ctrl+V) in the expression editor, similar to how most text editors handle these operations. This would align with user expectations and improve workflow efficiency.

Use case: Power users who frequently manipulate expressions would benefit from faster editing without switching to mouse-based interactions.
