Reason for having copy/paste:
The copy/paste retarget actions that you see in GEF are used solely for =
the palette. And since the palette's static model is provided by GEF, =
they fall in the GEF domain. Like I said earlier, GEF uses those =
actions for accessibility purposes only: to copy something from the =
palette and then paste it in the diagram (hence, an accessible way of =
dragging something from the palette). GEF clients still have to provide =
their own actions for copying/pasting/cutting anything in their model. =
And you don't HAVE to hook into the retarget actions provided by GEF. =
You should be able to create your own retarget actions and everything =
should work just fine. But why do that when we have these two lying =
around?
Reason for not having cut:
You can't cut something from the palette.

To follow Randy's mantra that I found several times in the newsgroup: =
Copying and pasting are the domain of the model. Therefore, you must =

exactly what I do in my application. I use the retarget action to call =
my actions via the action IDs.
What I was wondering is why does GEF not have a CutRetargetAction but =
does have the others.
