Exactly, and that is how it should work. If I have a custom menu bar and I have disabled or omitted the "copy" command, that means I do not want to allow copying. It would be a bug if copying was active in this case.

Control/command key shortcuts are intended to initiate menu functions. If you want the ability to use them, then include those functions in your menus. I don't see any bug here.

HyperCard was different because it had no "real" menus. They were all simulated, and all keystrokes eventually made their way to the engine if they were not trapped. This made HyperCard standalones behave differently than other applications. Revolution's implementation is more consistent and allows stack authors to script reliable menu behavior.
