> You can cut from app A, switch to app B, cut something else from app B, then go back to app A and undo the cut.

...right, thanks. So you could still make it work but you'd definitely need OS support, it's not something one app can fix.

Edit: You could make this work on an app level by checking if the contents of the user's clipboard is still the value they cut. If yes, revert to whatever clipboard contents you saved prior to the cut. Otherwise do nothing.

It's probably too much hidden behavior to be a good idea, but I think it would match what the user wants in 99% of cases.
