it's done the same way as in the QWidget world -> capture the keyboard 
shortcut and use QClipboard .. i'm not aware of any QML clipboard bindings 
(perhaps they exist, i'm just not personally aware of any), but they can be 
accessed from C++.

as for file management, the Active Files application has a bit of C++ that 
provides access to KIO's copy and trash methods.

so either there needs to be some C++ in your project, or a QML plugin written 
in C++ the bridges to KIO needs to be written. a Plasma::Service would 
probably do the trick quite nicely as those can be loaded into QML ..
