I think your key is actually supposed to be selective_screenshot and is
mislabeled. See
https://support.lenovo.com/au/en/documentation/SG10220/ref_hotkey_icons?language=en

For the icon that is on your keyboard, it says:

"Opens the Snipping tool. (Windows operating systems)"

Cut is supposed to be equivalent to CTRL+X.

Now I dug into this for my laptop when I thought the problem was deeper down so
I think the culprit is line 1331: 

https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/drivers/platform/x86/lenovo/ideapad-laptop.c

If you change "KEY_CUT" to "KEY_SELECTIVE_SCREENSHOT" and compile your own
kernel, hopefully you would see selective screenshot. That would make the key
unusable out of the box but would be actually correct. If so, you can submit a
patch to kernel and be a kernel developer, I guess :-D (I have never done this
and I am not 100 % sure this one liner is enough of a fix but I hope it is).

BTW: the key can be made usable by using software like
https://github.com/samvel1024/kbct or https://github.com/rvaiya/keyd where you
assign "selective_screenshot" to something like "prog4" and then that shows up
in Plasma, until this underlying bug is resolved.
