SUMMARY
The Edit menu keyboard commands in the Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1 differ from those available in Windows 3.0. These new key combinations were implemented to standardize keyboard commands in Windows-based applications.

Note: The Windows 3.0 keystrokes are still available in Windows 3.1 and work correctly.



MORE INFORMATION
The new key combinations correspond to four of the Edit menu commands. The old and new key combinations for each of these commands are listed in the following chart:   Command        Windows 3.0      Windows 3.1 ---       ---      ---   Undo           ALT+BACKSPACE     CTRL+Z Cut           SHIFT+DELETE      CTRL+X Copy          CTRL+INSERT       CTRL+C Paste         SHIFT+INSERT      CTRL+V
