That was probably a Sun machine. I used it them at university and liked the copy/paste-keys too.

I had a PC keyboard (Kinesis Freestyle 2) for a while which had this setup with copy/paste as separate keys. Unfortunately for me, these keys were macro keys which sent "CTRL plus the key at position three on line two" etc, and since I use dvorak layout, the C,X and V keys are mapped to Ä,Q and J, which meant "cut" became "quit" (CTRL-Q).

I don't know how Sun handled this, if the edit-keys sent some specific keycode that the program interpreted like "cut" and not just "CTRL-X"?
