Details:

It would be nice if more of the standard keyboard shortcuts worked in the
Variable Editor.  If necessary, that might mean adding a "Variable Editor"
section to the Preferences->Shortcuts menu.

Item 1 : 'Ctrl+W" for close tab

Item 2 : Cut/Paste working at the display level, rather than just the editing
variable level.

In a spreadsheet, I can move the cursor to a cell and press 'Ctrl+C' to copy
the value.  I can then move to another cell and use 'Ctrl+V' to paste the
value.  In the Variable Editor this does not work.  Instead, I have to double
click on the cell that I want to edit to enter the edit mode, and then use
'Ctrl+V'.  Many, many people are used to the spreadsheet syntax for this.

Item 3 : Shortcut for "Paste Table" is unknown

I guessed, correctly, that Ctrl+V would be paste.  I don't know what the
shortcut is for "Paste Table" so it always has to be done using the mouse.
