For most things when you have a menu such as a normal one or a right-click one, next to the options you normally have the keyboard shortcuts for those options, however even though you can copy and paste stuff in gnome-terminal with "SHIFT + CTRL + C" and "SHIFT + CTRL + V", there is no text next to those options in the right-click menu which tells you that.

And I think that this would be something very useful especially with these options as people who are new to Terminal usually mistake "CTRL + C" for "Copy" rather than "Interrupt".

I am running Ubuntu GNOME 15.10 with GNOME 3.18 but I have also found this issue present in Ubuntu GNOME 16.04 Beta 1 with GNOME 3.19. I have marked this as an 'enhancement' because it sort of is, though sort of also a bug... I guess it would either be 'enhancement' or 'minor'. I hope that I have marked it in the correct way?

I initially filed a report on this issue here but thought I should also do so upstream: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-terminal/+bug/1532957

Context menus *never* show keyboard shortcuts.

Oh, well, I've definitely seen them do so in other programs, and I think it would be useful if they did here, but I understand if it is not your standard.
