This page needs to be updated to match the currently specified behaviour. In the meantime please refer to the specification: https://www.w3.org/TR/clipboard-apis/#the-cut-action
The cut event is fired when a selection has been removed from the document and added to the clipboard.
If the user attempts a Cut action on uneditable content, the cut event still fires but the event object contains no data.
