Add Cut, Copy and Paste to the app's Edit menu

I think that the Edit menu should include entries to work with the clipboard, instead of these functions being available only through keyboard shortcuts. The standard Cut (currently unimplemented), Copy and Paste should be there. Additionally, you could include Delete and Duplicate. The items, shortcuts and functions would thus be:

  • Undo (Ctrl+Z): Undoes last history event.
  • Redo (Ctrl+Y): Redoes next history event.
  • Cut (Ctrl+x): Removes selected items from arrangement and copies them to clipboard.
  • Copy (Ctrl+C): Copies selected items in arrangement to clipboard.
  • Paste (Ctrl+V): Pastes clipboard contents to arrangement.
  • Delete (Del / Backspace): Deletes selected items from arrangement.
  • Duplicate (Ctrl+D): Duplicates selected items in the arrangement.

If implemented, I'd check that menu items and keyboard shortcuts are complete, properly written and consistent, with no duplicates or leftovers from previous versions.
