Research direction

Start by reproducing the report on macOS 12.6 in Terminal.app or iTerm2 with clipboard set to "external", selecting text and pressing Cmd+C. Compare the behavior with Ctrl+C and investigate the external clipboard path. Done means Cmd+C copies the selected text while Ctrl+C continues to work.
