Can we change the Cut Keyboard shortcut to Delete in Moho??

Specifically for the drawing phase, it would be cool to make Control+X Delete points instead of just Cut them. With all our main shortcuts right in that area of the board it would be quicker, because we usually have the mouse or a pen in the right hand.

Honestly after all these years with Moho and Anime Studio, I still haven't figured out the exact behavior of the Cut inside Moho. I think you can always Cut a full shape, but only at certain times specific individual points in a that shape will Cut, so you have to reach for Delete. I may be wrong but sometimes even that behavior changes depending on which of the Drawing tools is being used? It's a mystery, I always kind of wondered why Moho doesn't have a "Delete Point" tool like Clip Studio's vector tools

I understand that Cut and Delete are different functions on a computer and that it may be impossible but, just curious if there's a way to change it inside just in Moho. FYI Mono does restrict shortcuts for the Drawing tools only using Shift as a modifier. I couldn't find anything about this in the manual.

Do a quick experiment, (this looks to be the same whether Classic Points Editing is active or not). I'm not sure what this proves but...

Create a square and try to Cut 1 point. You can't cut 1 point, but you can Cut 2, but they have to be connected.

Create a square then split the points so you have 8. Then select every other point. You can't cut those. BUT if you select 2 connected points, then select another point on the other side of the shape... then it Cuts.

A cut has to be something pasteable. Moho doesn't allow a single, unconnected point. And every other point would also be illegal to paste.

By selecting a pasteable segment, you are basically tricking Moho into cutting an extra, lone point. But that point cannot be pasted.

Thanks Wes.

I was looking at a programmable keypad, the prices on those are coming down. Huion has one for $55 now that looks pretty good.
