I work in print and web media, and have always used keystrokes over drop down menus. Control X and Control C are cut and copy. Control V is paste. I do a lot of editing on documents that can and must be changed. Over the years in the different venues where I work, what I do was and is still is called cut and paste, regardless of the number of folks who only do copy and paste in their particular media.

I'll spare you my lecture on the hazards of citing Wikipedia as an authoritative source.
