Give us a clue what you mean by "cut" and what part of the image do you want "cutting", or maybe just say exactly how you want the image editing. Just so you know, to "cut" something, is to delete it, as in copy cut and paste. This is terminology that is used not only in windows programs, but on most programs on most operating systems. In fact, just so you are absolutely clear on the subject,
Apple Computer widely popularized the computer-based cut-and-paste paradigm through the
Lisa (1983, which is the year I was born) and
Macintosh (1984) operating systems and applications. Apple mapped the functionalities to key-combinations consisting of the
Command key (a special
modifier key) held down while typing the letters X (for cut), C (for copy), and V (for paste), choosing a handful of
keyboard sequences to control basic editing operations. The keys involved all cluster together at the left end of the bottom row of the standard
QWERTY keyboard, and each key is combined with a special
modifier key to perform the desired operation.
CUA (for OS/2) also uses combinations of the
Insert,
Del,
Shift and
Control keys. Early versions of
Windows used the
IBM standard.
Microsoft later adopted the Apple style key-combinations with the introduction of
Windows, choosing the
control key as their
modifier key which had previously been reserved for sending
control characters.
