    Default Text Shortcuts

    It would be nice if these two shortcuts were implemented as they are commonly used in other Windows apps.

    Cut to Clipboard - Shift Delete
    Paste from Clipboard - Shift Insert

    Although I see that CTRL X and CTRL V do work.

    CTRL+X and CTRL+V is MS Windows standard.

    Which other applications do you mean?

    I just noticed these shortcuts do work
    Don't they work on your system? Or did I misunderstand anything?

    I've noticed in the past that pasting can also be done just by pressing Insert btw.

    Steven have you tried the xortcuts utility provided with the Xtreme Pro Beta?

    It allows you to change shortcuts.

    As far as I know any Microsoft application supports Shift Delete for cut. I think others do as well, but could be wrong.

    In Xara Shift Delete will delete, but not copy to the clipboard, the selected text. Shift Insert does appear to work and is apparently the same as Insert.

    I have not used Xortcuts.

    Steven, to my knowledge the Shift+Delete is used permanently delete. In Outlook it deletes an email without sending it to the Deleted Items folder. In Windows Explorer is Deletes without sending to the Recycle Bin.

    I don't recall any Windows Application that uses standard keyboard shortcuts using Shift+Delete as a cut to clipboard. That's not to say there aren't any. I know that Word Perfect used many "non-standard" keyboard shortcuts. But I never used it more than a couple of times before reverting to WordStar.

    If you have any Office products, try it when text editing (Word, Excel, Access, etc). I've been using it for years.

    This goes back to Windows 95

    SHIFT+DELETE or CTRL+X Cuts the selected text to the clipboard.
