I guess all Qt/KDE applications have that view though.

I don't think so, but I could be wrong.

Well, it obviously is :)
Strangely enough, the code I got from Qt said
    case Key_F16: // Copy key on Sun keyboards
    case Key_F18:  // Paste key on Sun keyboards
    case Key_F20:  // Cut key on Sun keyboards
This looks quite strange though, it could easily conflict with other custom definitions
for function keys.
Can you uncomment the line at koffice/lib/kotext/kotextview.cc:280, adding << " key=" << e->key()
to it, to see exactly what Qt receives?
There's no Key_SunCopy though, that's for sure...

Also, you could try "Configure shortcuts" and see what it says when
you press the SunCopy key.
