Plug-in's edit fields not working with Ctrl-C Ctrl-V clipboard

Hi all. On both Windows and OSX, Reaper seems to be blocking the plug-ins from using the clipboard. But only with the Ctrl-C Ctrl-V keys. (Or whatever that dohickey key on the Mac is called, Option?) It works fine with Ctrl-Ins and Shift-Ins (Which I believe are only offered by Windows) and also works fine with right clicking the edit field and selecting copy or paste. Is Reaper intercepting the Ctrl/Option-C/V keystroke before it can get to the plugin? Not a biggie now that I've found a workaround, just thought I'd mention it. I'm using Reaper as a host to test my OSX port of Poly-Ana and I thought it was my bug. Just popped back into Windows to compare some behavior and noticed it's happening in here too. Cheers!

.. confirmed: and

And actually it is a bit more of a big deal on Mac as (AFAIK) the only way to make it copy and paste are with the whatsit-c and whatsit-v keys. On Windows you have at least 2 other options, as I noted above. Anybody know of any others on Mac? It will be tedious and error prone for my customers to have to manually copy serials and keys to authorize the plugin. (Sorry, I'm a total Mac newb. Always hated the things. And am constantly reminded why. Their interface hasn't improved since I last programmed them in 1991. Every edit field is like a box of chocolates... ;)
