Stackedit: Shift-delete (cut) no longer works

[gliviu]

Since Stackedit v5 I can no longer use shift-delete in order to cut portions of text.
Worse, it will just delete the text without copying it to clipboard so it is not available in next paste operation.

Happens in windows, linux, firefox, chrome.

Steps

• go to stackedit.io/app
• select some text
• press shift-delete
• press ctrl-v

Expected
Cut/paste operation

Happens
Delete operation

What's wrong with ctrl+x?

I am just used to use shift-delete, ctrl-insert, shift-insert instead of ctrl-c, ctrl-v, ctrl-x.
And it is not just about me. These controls are supported by all apps I can tell.

Agreed, Shift-Delete for Cut is completely standard for Windows. I have never used a Windows program where it doesn't work.

As a workaround, I added "shift+del: bold" in Settings -> Custom Settings. That makes Shift-Delete set the selected text to bold as a reminder that it's not actually saving anything to the clipboard.

But it would be great to be able to add "shift+del: cut" instead. (I tried. It doesn't work).

On the other hand I see Google Docs does not handle Shift-Delete either. Maybe this is quite difficult to solve. They just ignore the shortcut instead of deleting the text.

My google docs support Shift+Del well, maybe you have some browser plugin installed which steals this shortcut?

Yes, it works fine in Google Docs. It also worked in the previous version of StackEdit, so it can't be that hard to support.

Checked google docs again and works indeed on Chrome but fails in Firefox.

I came here to report this issue and found that I'm not the only one who noticed. :-)
