C-c, C-x and C-v is latest documented for the Apple Lisa, around 1983, although it may have stolen it from the Xerox Alto [0] [1] C-Ins, S-Del and S-Ins are IBM CUA, around 1987. So it's the other way around :-) Cheers [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Lisa [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cut%2C_copy%2C_and_paste#Popularization [2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_Common_User_Access -- t
