  1. context menu
  2. Ctrl+Ins hotkey
  3. Ctrl+C hotkey

Well, the menu works. The hotkeys, both, do nothing.

Research direction
Investigate the hotkey handling for copy operations in the Disassembly widget. Compare the context menu action (which works) with the keyboard shortcuts (Ctrl+Ins, Ctrl+C) to find why they are not triggered. Look at keyPressEvent or QShortcut setup in files like DisassemblyWidget.cpp or related UI code. Check if the shortcuts are correctly connected to the same slot as the context menu action.
