If you are using a windows machine, the keystrokes are sent to the foreground application. Make sure LR is the foreground application when trying it.

I think that there is a misunderstanding about what the user expects and that what the programmer did.

According to "Client.lua":
      LRPaste                         = CU.fSimulateKeys(KS.KeyCode.PasteKey,true),
      LRCopy                          = CU.fSimulateKeys(KS.KeyCode.CopyKey,true),
is in "KeyShortcuts.lua" translated to:
  CopyKey                 = LRkeytoCode("$$$/AgLayout/Menu/Edit/Copy/Key=Cmd+c"),
  PasteKey                = LRkeytoCode("$$$/AgLayout/Menu/Edit/Paste/Key=Cmd+v"),
which is similar (if not identical) to Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V under Windows.

But in the development module we find "Copy settings ... Ctrl-Shift-C" and "Paste settings Ctrl-Shift-V",
according to the german resource file this would be:
"$$$/AgDevelop/Menu/Photo/CopySettings/Key=Cmd+Shift+C"
"$$$/AgDevelop/Menu/Photo/PasteSettings/Key=Cmd+Shift+V"

My personal preference would be the last combination because LRcopy and LRpaste are in the develop section and the develop module does not have a menu entry for Ctrl-C/V

The answer to your question is in the release notes for 2.7.0.4 (https://github.com/rsjaffe/MIDI2LR/releases/tag/v2.7.0.4)

"Selective copy and paste is removed from the application menus. Adobe keeps changing the parameters involved and does not document them, so it is impossible to keep this working correctly. Also, this feature was initially placed in MIDI2LR before we had the capability to send keystrokes to Lightroom. Now you can use Lightroom copy and paste commands in MIDI2LR to get similar functionality. If you are already using selective copy and paste, it will work in this version, though you won't be able to change the paste selections."

Have you tried to configure a key in the settings with ENTER ?
It will not be accepted but the error message shows that you can enter "return" as a key.
