Since I played with these settings, that function is gone.

Not sure that I'm understanding you fully, Thomas, but I agree that Ctrl+C and 
Ctrl+X both move marked text to the clipboard for subsequent pasting with 
Ctrl+V.  The difference is, of course, that Ctrl+C leaves the original in place 
(copy) and Ctlr+X pulls the original (cut).

However, in either case, Ctrl+V will only paste what has already been moved to the clipboard. You say
"Ctrl+V" copies the last text selected for copying. Fine so far, but is
not necessarily the text I just deleted.

If you have deleted text any other way than with Ctrl+C or Ctrl+X (or their 
menu equivalents of course) I don't ever remember that such deleted text can be 
replaced by Ctrl+V.  The alternative in such a case is Edit/Undo or Edit/Undo 
Typing, and you might have to press that alternative a few times depending on 
what has happened since the text disappeared.

Select any word -> press Ctrl+X = text disappears.
In all other software I know, pressing Ctrl+V will paste the text portion that was deleted at the cursor position With my messed up settings pressing Ctrl+V will paste a text portion that has *SPECIFICALLY* been designated for *copy* - even this has been made in another open software -
but NOT the text I just deleted.
If I use in THIS particular case Undo: first = copied (from another software) text disappears; second the word I deleted intentionally reappears.
Fine, but still I would like to return Ctrl+V to its "original" state.

I do suppose, that everybody else will get: "pressing Ctrl+V will paste the text portion that was deleted at the cursor position"
So, there should be a setting somewhere that will do that trick.
I tried under "Customize" to click on "reset", but that had no observable effect. (in fact, A LOT OF settings do not produce ANY detectable effect, like the one with highlighting I asked about the other day ...)
