Actually I do, especially when the content length exceeds the size of
the text box. I use very few keys in Windows, but I do use Ctrl-A,
Ctrl-C, Ctrl-X, Ctrl-Z and Ctrl-V a great deal. In many ways the
keyboard can be quicker than the mouse.

up any release for, but it would be a useful one to fix for some people.
