    The standard win32 behaviour is cut for left-button only and copy for
    ctrl+left button; to have it other way around in AW will be very
    confusing for the user (apart from that, I think I cut more often this way
    than copy). However, there is nothing in principle stoping us from
    having a different binding on different platforms.
