Shift-Delete doesn't cut to clipboard (only deletes)

Do you want to request a feature or report a bug?

Bug IMO.

What's the current behavior?

• go to https://www.slatejs.org/#/rich-text
• type something
• select a region
• press Shift-Del (on Windows / Linux, not sure how these things work on macOS)
• paste

Tested in Firefox 68 and Chromium 73 on Linux with the version that's deployed to https://www.slatejs.org/#/rich-text right now.

What's the expected behavior?

The selected text is deleted, but not copied to clipboard. Ctrl-X / Cmd-X work fine. Shift-Del should work just like Ctrl-X.

As far as I can tell, macOS does not have this behavior. I have confirmed this on Windows, even though I didn't know about it until today 🙂.

I wonder what events fire for this. If a cut event or something does, maybe this can be implemented without the need for OS specific logic.

I don't think there's anything like a cut event in browsers, but there's already a bit of platform-specific handling in https://github.com/ianstormtaylor/slate/blob/master/packages/slate-hotkeys/src/index.js.
