I knew that. However, in order to make ctrl+v paste the highlighted text
I must first press ctrl+c. I do this so I don't have to use the mouse. I
find it to be much faster.

Again, moving my right hand away from the keyboard is required with your
method. This slows me down. 

If I'm already using the mouse I tend to use only the mouse to copy and
paste, but that is rarely the case when reading through my e-mail.

Having more ways to copy and paste is easier.
