I don't think I would like this. He mentions Excel does something similar and Excel is my least favourite app to cut/copy/paste in.

My Excel cut-and-paste workflow is:

* Copy the text

* Paste the text

* Go back and delete the copied text

because regular cut and paste breaks all the formulas that reference where I'm pasting into. They should have kept normal cut-and-paste and made Ctrl+Shift+(plus) do their special paste.

Yeah I feel like Excel always thinks of what would be the worst way to copy/cut/paste depending on my intentions, and then it does exactly that.

I know that’s obviously not the case, but Excel is just so unintuitive in so many ways (for me).
