Note that Cut and Copy will only be enabled if you have something to Cut and Copy - In other words, you need a *selection* in the focused text field / view.

I'd argue that it should be, and that you should be using regular first responder based menu item validation for making sure that only the menu items that make sense are enabled during your modal session (again something that typically works without any additional work on your part).

On microsoft windows if you have a text field up on a dialog with focus it just responds to control-x and cuts the text. It doesn't matter what is happening in the application menus.
The issue is not that you have a modal dialog up, event handling still works more or less the same way for modal dialogs.
