Cut vs Remove
In the Modeler, under both Attributes and Relationships tabs for both
ObjEntities and DbEntities, there is a Cut toolbar icon and a Remove
toolbar icon. It seems to me the Remove one can go away now. Cut
would be the safer option and allow them to paste as an undo
operation.
Thoughts?
Thanks!

+1 on keeping remove. It really is a different idea, and without copy/
paste buffers to ensure that you don't inadvertently lose something
you cut before... (not suggesting we add buffers; they're always done
wrong. Except maybe in vim. ;)

While I agree with the functionality, I see value in having the remove
button. It can be unintuitive to have to cut something in order to
delete it. Likewise, I may not want to blow out my clipboard to
delete something.
