I'm afraid not. The original Windows 3.0 shortcut keys for cut, copy
and paste were Shift-Del, Ctrl-Ins, and Shift-Ins respectively,
before the more commonly used (today) Ctrl-X, Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V were
introduced with Windows 3.1.

I don't know what Ctrl-Del was originally designed for, though.

Yes, TB included.

So I guess that doesn't prove QuarkExpress is non-standard, though I
won't be surprised if it is considering it's originally a Mac
product (is it?).

As far as Ctrl-Del is concerned, I surely don't know what standard
there is, since Notepad and Word 2000 behave differently with that
shortcut, and my editor does it yet another way. :(
