I just figured out that using Shift+Delete on text induces the Cut command.
You see, over the past several months, I have been trying to figure out why I would sometimes have my deleted text replace what I had in the clipboard! Like, I would put a web address or something into the clipboard and then begin typing my reply here on OCN. But then sometimes I would find that I'd want to delete a large portion of a sentence or something, so I would use Shift+Left Arrow (or Shift+Home or Shift+End, or whatever is practical at the moment). This is a keyboard-navigation way of selecting large portions of text. So after doing it, I would immediately hit Delete and keep moving and then later press Ctrl+V only to get the text I deleted a few minutes prior.
Well, I just realized what I was doing: for some reason, I would continue holding down the Shift key while pressing Delete. lol
So, from now on I hope that I remember to let go of the Shift key before pressing Delete.
Wow.
