Also, I tested my app using an old compiler on my Mac, the keyboard
shortcuts work there even though there is no menu. I suspect this is a bug
that has crept into RB 5.5.

Now I'm confused -- is this a Mac app or a Windows one? On the Mac it is certainly not true that cut/copy/paste should work when there is no Edit menu. Cut/copy/paste are simply menu commands, no different from any others except that they're quite standard. But when you press cmd-V, the system looks for a menu with a shortcut of cmd-V; it doesn't automatically do "paste."

If you had an app that supported those shortcuts without appropriate menu commands, then it was doing something special, and was neither following Mac UI guidelines nor using the standard Mac menu manager.

Best,
