According to your settings it should be Meta + C. Normally it is the same key combination used to 'copy' purpose.

Anyway you can check and use as follows,

  • Go to Settings -> Keymap

enter image description here

  • On the top-right corner type 'copy' and press Enter.
  • The first key pair (here Meta + C ) should be the one you needed.

You can also change the keymap you are using from the 'keymap' drop down menu appearing here, and switch to a different one, if you are not comfortable with your settings. 'Mac OS X 10.5 + would be a good one for you.
