Wouldn't it rather be DEL? CUT can only move stuff elsewhere and doesn't just delete stuff.

Cut deletes if you don’t paste after.

Does it? I swear it puts the selected item in a quantum state until the resolution of if it was pasted elsewhere or not.

For files, yeah. I was thinking of text.

Just checked it and it depends. On WORD, it removes the text, in EXCEL it does not (until pasted elsewhere)

Ehh, embellishing its meaning a bit. I didn’t recall if it would remove the text when initially cut and replace it if was not pasted. Turns out when i tested these, it depended on the program on how it acted.

It does but there are many farmers to cut and only the last one will stay in cosmic clipboard.

Really depends on what. With text it usually does remove it no matter what. N9t so much with files.
