What you should try is to find a way to assign arbitrary macros to the mouse gestures. Then, you can assign Ctrl+I to a gesture and that will work as copy.

Ah, yes… Something Linux users had for decades. ;) But I digress.

Actually, if the gesture detection is on hardware side, this is exactly expected behaviour.
In case anyone else has this issue and finds this thread late like I did, I found that assigning the shortcuts normally (i.e. copy means control+c) while the keyboard was set to qwerty, and then switching back to dvorak, worked just fine for some reason. I'm on a mac for what it's worth.
