Nevertheless, Opera does provide a context menu for form fields with cut/copy/paste/select_all, so that is a non-issue ... and boils down to an application idiosyncrasy.

The point you're missing is that there is at least one SIP choice that provides for easy use of CTRL+X/C/V etc. But hey, use it don't use it, maybe someone else can benefit.
I think my point you're missing is our screens aren't multi-touch, so trying to hold cntrl+v on the onscreen keyboard won't do anything.

You're correct about Opera's inability to use the system's method of copy and paste within webpages. I think the address bar doesn't have an issue because it's a native WM control, while the text fields in webpages are custom controls programmed for opera specifically.

Bottom line though is unless you have an hd2 there's no way you can do cntrl+v with the virtual keyboard. Cntrl, yes, but not cntrl v.

Wait, does it follow a set key presses? Is that what you're saying? Like instead of holding them down together, you just hit cntrl, then hit v and it pastes?
