alt Hacker News> I cut, undo, ..., undo, and paste multiple times a day.
Why would you cut + undo as opposed to just copy? Are they not the same operation at that point?

Have you never copied, tried to paste and you pasted the wrong thing because copy failed?
Cut + undo, is copy with visual feedback
I often cut + undo because seeing the cut is feedback which tells me the operation successfully put the content into clipboard. This is not always a guarantee especially in web apps, and sometimes I just have focus on the wrong window.
