The man page shows how to configure xterm to run certain functions on
given X events, such as key presses.

Search for the string #override in the man page, look for the calls to
insert-selection() and select-end().  You want entries for your preferred
keys to call those functions on CLIPBOARD.  <shift><Ctrl><C>, for example,
would look something like (untested):

      Shift Ctrl <Key>c insert-selection(CLIPBOARD) \n\
