No, he probably won't.

A ton of people know about ctrl+c because it is in every editor out there. 
It's standard. Also, tons of people are migrating from Windows. And, in case 
you were wondering, I didn't know about ctrl+lmb.

Where would someone even find that out? Any keyboard shortcut can be found 
by editing keyboard shortcuts, but the mouse button shortcuts are basically 
never touched, so tons of people don't know them.
