Current behaviour

I upgraded from 2.14.22 to 3.0.12, now Shift+Del tries to delete the note

Expected behaviour

Shift+Del should be 'cut', the same function as Ctrl+X which still works
Shift+Ins (same function as Ctrl+V) still works
Essential for left handed users

A workaround might be to re-assign "permanently delete" from shift-delete to something else in Settings > "Keyboard Shortcuts", then restart Joplin.

Notes:

• Microsoft standard keyboard shortcut list includes shift-delete:
  • "Shift + Delete - Delete the selected item without moving it to the Recycle Bin first."
  • Presumably, this description is for File Explorer, and not for text editors. Perhaps this command/keyboard shortcut should only be enabled when the note list is selected?

Yes I guess it should only be enabled then. I see that there's no when clause like "noteListFocused" so maybe we could add one and make this a condition for "permanently delete note"

"only be enabled when the note list is selected" - perfect, when text is selected preform the equivalent of Ctrl+X and if note/To Do item or Notebook/folder is selected then perm delete. this is how windows and other apps work

Thanks
