Description of the Issue

I was experimenting with Preferences / Margins/Border/Edge / Vertical Edge Settings to better understand how it works and discovered that I can't use Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V, nor Ctrl-X to copy/paste/cut values to or from the Vertical Edge Settings field.

Ctrl-A for Select-all and Ctrl-Z for undo, and Ctrl-Y for redo also do not work in this field.

Ctrl-H for backspace works meaning the Ctrl key seems to be working but not Ctrl with A, C, V, X, Y, or Z.

Copy, paste, cut, and select-all all work if I use the mouse to right-click in the field and select Copy, Paste, etc. from the right-click menu.

Ctrl-C using the keyboard works to get the values from other Preferences fields meaning it's an issue that seems specific to the Vertical Edge Settings field.

This is not a v8.5.4 regression as older versions such as v8.3.3 also behave the same way with the keyboard's Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V, and Ctrl-X not working in the Vertical Edge Settings. A comment in issue 9296 from January 2021 also mentions the issue with using the keyboard in this field. I'm creating this one as a separate issue as 9296 is asking for another feature with a suggested workaround being to copy/paste the values.

Expected Behavior

That the Ctrl keys work the way they usually do in text/numeric fields.
Ctrl-A to select all text in the field.
Ctrl-C to copy the selected test into the Windows clipboard.
Ctrl-V to paste from Windows clipboard into the edit field.
Ctrl-X to cut the selected test into the Windows clipboard.
Ctrl-Y for redo from the redo-history.
Ctrl-Z for undo the undo history.

Actual Behavior

The Ctrl keys other than Ctrl-H seem to do nothing in this field. I don't have speakers on my computer and so don't know if there are any beeps.
