Lookig for a way to assign these commands to buttons

Buttons? You mean other keys on the keyboard?
I haven't yet tried OkayKeeBees, it might do it.

As for Cut, Copy, and Paste, those are typically ctrl+x, ctrl+c, ctrl+v right?

You could try BPTypeIn (do a search for it loose-screws.com)

Sorry should have been more detailed.
What I want is to create shortcuts that
use !bangs to preform these actions.

example:
*shortcut "Copy" 0 25 copy.png copyover.png .none #1t !copy
*shortcut "Cut" 0 25 cut.png cutover.png .none #1t !cut

I forgot to mention that BPTypeIn might not even work, especially in the case that some applications use their own mechanisms for copy/pasting :)

If you try and can get BPTypeIn to simulate those ctrl+x, ctrl+c, ctrl+v (with hotkeys) then a problem could arise upon clicking shortcuts which use these commands...

It's possible (and probable by my experience) that when you click on a shortcut, you transfer focus away from your application to the shortcut (and so BPTypeIn will apply keystrokes on the shortcut instead of your application).

If this is the case, see about how to return window focus...

I have ran into that problem, it seems that the window does lose focus, but if I set a hotkey then use BPTypein that should take are of it.

Nope that did not work either.

I don't get it, what would be the point of having shortcuts for these commands?
1. there's the keybaord
2. just about every program has an edit menu with these in it.

I'm guessing TechRonin uses the mouse with his left hand or something.

I am left handed! That is very intuitive.

Acaully there is no good reason other than the idea hit and I wanted to do it.
