I would like to have an app that will generate a sound every time I press Command + C (Copy) and maybe Command + V (Paste) as well, but, the first one is the most important, sometimes I thought I copied but it didn't, maybe it wasn't selected properly, etc.

I know there are some clipboard management apps that do this, but I don't want the management piece only the sound, to get a confirmation that the text was actually selected, and the information is in the clipboard memory. Thanks
 
Help! I was looking for what you want and I must have succeeded somehow because I now have a clicking sound after doing Command+C and can't get rid of it!!!! I hope you get a solution.
 
I use Paste as my clipboard manager and it has a sound when copying.
 
This problem mainly seems to happen to me when using MS Word. I'll copy something but it was never copied.

I've taken to looking up at the menu bar to ensure the "Edit" option flashes briefly.

It sounds like such an app wouldn't really have anything to do with keyboard combinations, but would rather just monitor the system clipboard (aka pasteboard) and do something each time its content changes.
