Well, not really, the "Windows way" is like that: 
0) init the "quick edit" mode in the konsole preferences 
.. 
1) select text in konsole 
2) a RETURN or a RMB click will copy the current selection to CLIPBOARD 
3a) a RMB will paste the text from CLIPBOARD in konsole 
3b) a CTRL-V in another KDE app will paste the text from CLIPBOARD 
 
My goal is to make copy/paste from konsole faster; shilft+insert is 
not so good, because my right hand is moving the mouse, a CTRL-V 
with my left is o.k. 
 
Because the left hand is at the keyboard, i can also user ALT+Tab to 
change the application, so i would do 
1) left hand  : select with mouse in konsole, RMB click 
2) right hand : ALT-Tab (will bring up kate or ...) 
3a) right hand: CTRL-V will paste at the cursor 
3b) left hand : select some text in kate 
    right hand: CTRL-V will overwrite the selected text with 
                the text selected in the konsole window 
 
I admit that it is complicate to explain, but i'm quite used to 
it, and would love to see a "Windows quick edit mode" in konsole!
