I read the entire page you sent me and did not see anything that said you
must always provide Ctrl+C, et al. It just said what the standard shortcuts
were for Cut, Copy, Paste, etc and said don't assign other functions to
those.

It doesn't clarify. However, after looking into the problem some more this
evening, and it seems any edit control on the system supports a magical set
of shortcut keys regardless of what menus are there. For example, you can
hit Ctrl+L and Ctrl+R to left and right align text (for an example, open up
WordPad. You'll notice there's no menu item for it, but it still works).
So, I think it's a bug in RB that we're not handling all of these
automatically for you.
