KeyBinding for gestures CTRL+C and CTRL+ V do not work?

Question

I have a few ICommands in my View Model which I would like to bind them using Key Board bindings to my user control. The problem I am facing is that they are not fired when I use CTRL + C and CTRL + V to bind my copy and paste commands in my UserControl. Am I supposed to override them or something?.

<UserControl.InputBindings>
    <KeyBinding Gesture="CTRL+C" Command="{Binding CopyCommand}" />
</UserControl.InputBindings>

If you change the Gesture to "CTRL+N" for example, does it work? — SuperOli, Nov 09 '12 at 16:03
@SuperOli Yes, It does but I have to use commonly known commands for copy and paste. — Ammark, Nov 09 '12 at 16:07
Do you have textboxes or similar within the UserControl, that have the focus at the time you press Ctrl-C? If so then the textbox would capture the command before the UserControl. — Stephen Holt, Nov 09 '12 at 16:33

@Anmark - Please could you provide a bit more detail of what is in the UserControl so I can try to reproduce the scenario. — Stephen Holt, Nov 12 '12 at 13:29

This works for me like a charm:

<!--COPY-->
<UserControl.InputBindings>
    <KeyBinding Key="C" Modifiers="Ctrl" Command="{Binding CopyToStackCommand}" />
</UserControl.InputBindings>

<!--PASTE-->
<UserControl.InputBindings>
    <KeyBinding Key="V" Modifiers="Ctrl" Command="{Binding PasteFromStackCommand}" />
</UserControl.InputBindings>
