What is the correct keyboard shortcut to cut a cell value?

There isn't a single universal keyboard shortcut to cut a cell value in the way that Ctrl+X (or Cmd+X on macOS) cuts selected text in a word processor. The action depends heavily on the application you're using:

• Spreadsheet Software (Excel, Google Sheets, LibreOffice Calc): You typically don't "cut" a cell's value directly. Instead, you select the cell(s) containing the value you want to move, then copy it (Ctrl+C or Cmd+C) and then paste it to the new location (Ctrl+V or Cmd+V). This effectively moves the value. The original cell will be empty.

• Database Software: The method will vary significantly depending on the specific database software (e.g., MySQL Workbench, Access, etc.). Some might have a "cut" functionality within a cell editor, while others might require selecting the data and using copy-paste. Check your database software's help documentation for its specific instructions.

• Other applications: If you are in a cell-like input field within a different application (like a form), there's no standardized "cut cell" shortcut. The standard copy-paste (Ctrl+C/Cmd+C and Ctrl+V/Cmd+V) is the most likely and widely supported option.

In short, while there's no dedicated "cut cell" shortcut, the combination of copy (Ctrl+C/Cmd+C) and paste (Ctrl+V/Cmd+V) achieves the same result in most applications by moving the cell's contents.
