Errr.... SHIFT+DEL (on Windows at least) was always "DELETE without going to the Paperbin" (no restore possible) as far as i can remember back.
In all ediatbe controles Shift+Del was "Cut".
I've been using this for ages now and Office 365 just killed that.
I can't type "blind", so i tend to see the effects of my typeing only after a few seconds, and this has bitten me in the @ss:I do Shift+Del, then at some other place Ctrl+V and some old text from the clipboard gets pasted.
I'm now typing this in Edge: and in Edge Shift+Del still does "Cut", not "Delete".

OK, i'll take your word for it.
Never used Shift+DEL like described.
To me it was always "Be gone, and don't come back"
