Subject: [PATCH] fix(editor): corrected editor consuming rebound copy keys
 preventing custom bindings

- Fixed editor consuming user-rebound copy keys, preventing custom keybindings from working.
- Changed copy key detection from generic `tui.input.copy` binding to explicit `ctrl+c` check to avoid swallowing user-rebound keys.
- Added test case verifying editor does not consume keys rebound to copy action.
