macOS Cut/Paste doesn't work in modal window

[fbs419]

There are a number of posts on this:

http://www.shipsomecode.com/software/enabling-keyboard-shortcuts-with-nsstatusitems/

They mention subclassing NSText, hooking up dummy menus, adding edit items, etc. Is all that necessary? It seems that cut and paste work fine on windows where you don't call runModalForWindow; why shouldn't modal windows work the same?

Is there a simpler solution out there for modal windows? -- Thanks

Actually subclassing NSTextField is not that big a deal, and works fine. Here's a good post on it:
