How could Apple not use standard Cut keystrokes?

I have Keyboard Maestro’s ‘Search the web’ action bound to ‘Ctrl-Alt-Cmd G’ (for Google).
It’s very easy to hit all those three modifier keys to the left of the keyboard together, and I use this all the time…

I actually prefer CMD+OPT+V as sometimes with CMD+X, CMD+V you can forget whether you copied or cut the files. With CMD+OPT+V you make the decision when you are pasting the files.

When saving a file instead to a certain folder. I used CMD & D. Then it will save it to the Desktop. Then I have a Haze routine to move the file to the NAS.

Have you thought of using Default Folder X? It’s one of those must-have utilities for me. In Open/Save it appends a menu that lets you access recent folders as well as create Favorite folders, and uses shortcuts so you never have to leave the keyboard. It’s been around from the same developer for well over a decade, and is regularly supported and updated.

System preferences, AFAIK, does not have such option =)
