Description

### Enhancement Summary

To help beginner's workflow's making it so you can Ctrl+C a clip and Ctrl+P to paste it at the selected location.

### Implementation Details / Mockup

Currently, you can copy and paste a song segment by holding Ctrl and dragging it from where the original is to where you want to copy it. While very efficient (and cooL), it isn't intuitive and a Ctrl+C on the original clip and Ctrl+V on the place where you want to paste the clip would be intuitive and helpful for beginner workflow and then they can further optimize later by learning the Ctrl Drag functionality.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by tracing the existing Ctrl-drag song-segment copy behavior and selected-location handling; done means Ctrl+C stores the selected segment and Ctrl+V inserts a copy at the selected location without breaking the existing workflow.
