Photoshop 2020 21.1.2 : Ctrl-x has stopped working! Help!

Question

Hello &#128578; Ctrl-x/cut has stopped working in Photoshop 2020 21.1.2 ! It was fine yesterday, but then it just stopped. I can't cut mask selections, I can't cut layers, I can't cut anything. The ctrl key still works, as does the x key. Everything is up to date. I've tried installing all avaialable previous versions of PS; I've uninstalled every other Adobe product; I've swapped keyboards; I've started PS up as the only thing running; I've updated graphics drivers; I've cleaned/purged temp files and the registry; I've manually deleted any and all legacy files left over from uninstalling stuff before reinstalling...but nothing's worked!I know - in this current world climate - this problem is, perhaps, a tad trivial...but IT'S DRIVING ME MAD!Any help would be HUGELY appreciated!Ta x

HiThe first thing to look at is your Keyboard Shortcuts:Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts > Application menusIs your set the Default set, a modified Default, or a custom set?In Edit > Cut, what does it say is the keyboard shortcut?Let us know if this works.~ Jane
