Well that extension just send a notification when the clipboard content
changes, so in some way it notifies when the user press Ctrl+C, but:

If the user copies exactly the same text, nothing is notified: this is
because the extension doesn't check any key combination, it only tracks
the clipboard content. This has the advantage that if the user change
the clipboard with other way (ie: some applications allows Ctrl+Ins to
copy to the clipboard). So it doesn't matter how the clipboard content
changes, if it changed is notified. But, that also means that you don't
get a notification each time you press Ctrl+C. As I said, only if the
clipboard content changes. Is that a problem?

In the same way, it doesn't do anything with respect to paste (so
Ctrl+V). Anyway, at this moment Orca is already exposing the text
changes, so this shouldn't be a problem. Is that Ok?
