The copy-paste tag is used for the clipboard actions Copying and Pasting.
This should be merged with the existing clipboard tag, and synonymised so that future users can find the right tag.
Thoughts?

I think we should also merge a couple of more tags into clipboard:
- copy (554)
- copy-paste (350)
- paste (54)
- cut-and-paste (30)
Some might have to be cleanup up though.

copy can be about commands like xcopy32 or ɪꜱᴏ burning. In that case they don’t involve a clipboard. Commented Jan 10, 2017 at 3:57
I'm not sure "clipboard" should be the primary term. People think of "clipboard" as a system utility that can be used within or across applications. A big portion of the copy and copy-paste questions relate to things like propagating cell contents in a spreadsheet. Copy-paste is more generic than clipboard.

Most, if not all spreadsheet applications these days support cell propagation in a pretty standardised way - shouldn't it be enough to tag with the software they're using without needing a tag for the specific feature?– RobotnikCommented Oct 26, 2014 at 10:36
