I'd like to see support added for SHIFT+DEL, CTRL+INS, SHIFT+INS shortcuts for cut / copy / paste, as is standard across many Windows applications. This is in addition to the existing CTRL+X, CTRL+C, CTRL+V shortcuts that already exist. Currently it's only possible to reassign the existing shortcuts rather than add additional ones, and it isn't possible to assign SHIFT+DEL. My earlier comments and related discussion on this topic here: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/22639-affinity-designer-public-beta-1507-windows/?p=107136

I'm very pleased to see you're porting Affinity Designer to Windows and the beta builds are looking very promising so far. Thank you! I do have one small bit of feedback for the Windows version and I'm not sure whether it's considered a bug or a feature request. Historically (stretching back to the MS-DOS days), cut/copy/paste was performed with SHIFT+DEL, CTRL+INS, SHIFT+INS keyboard shortcuts respectively. I'm not sure what Microsoft's offical guidelines are regarding this but lots of applciations still honour those keyboard shortcuts, including Windows itself, MS Office etc (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/gg251608.aspx). Is there any chance you can add support for them to Affinity Designer too? I'm still somewhat stuck in my ways and generally find them more convenient than the more well known CTRL+X / CTRL+C / CTRL+V combinations.
