  Cut

  Moves the selected range to the indicated buffer.

  The Cut key removes text within the selected range or found range and
  moves it into a designated buffer (by default, the $PASTE buffer or the
  clipboard in DECwindows mode).  The selected range is the text between the
  select marker (see the SET SELECT_MARK command) and the current cursor
  position.

  Command Equivalent:
