Subject: Copy with WM_COPY only; do not inject Ctrl+C.

SendInput of Ctrl+C typed a stray c or sent SIGINT into
Alacritty and Zed. Those apps ignore WM_COPY, so they are
left alone.

 Remarks
 
-Injected Ctrl+C is skipped for ConsoleWindowClass, Windows
-Terminal, and mintty so a false gesture cannot interrupt a
-job. Those hosts often already copy on select.
-
 UIPI: an unelevated selc cannot copy from an elevated window.
 Run it at the same integrity level as the programs you use.
