Is there a way of doing key board shortcuts; cut, paste and copy with the iPad inbuilt keyboard without pointing at type and using the slower interface system?
Ref ......Control v control c control x control z etc
iOS 5.1, iPad 3
Here's a few iPad keyboard shortcuts/tips.

I've entered my shortcuts- why doesn't it work? Even the default shortcut "omy" for "on my way" doesn't work- in a mail message, I type "omy" followed by a space- I get... "omy"... none of my shortcuts work- am I missing something?

The default is "omw", not "omy".
Doh- that works- thanks- but all mine don't- maybe because I start all my shortcuts with a $...
I'll try changing that-
Thanks
That did it... thanks, I feel like an idiot- wonder why I can't start my shortcuts with "$".....

If you have an app on your iOS device, you SHOULD keep up with the updates. Quite simply, many of them are written poorly and can interfere with other apps, memory-leak-like things (not te correct technical term, but I'm not a programmer, just a guy who works at the fruit themed store). If you don't want to update the app, take it off your device. The updates FREQUENTLY only provide backend fixes that you can't see but make the app more stable and less crappy.
If its on your device, keep it updated. If you do not want to update it, take it off of your device.

Yeah, I ran into the same problem... I used to start all of my TextExpander shortcuts with a ".". When the shortcuts becam availaable in iOS I thought I'd just duplicate them. Didn't work of course until I learned that iOS KB Shortcuts can't start with punctuation. A little annoying, but easily overcome. i use a unicode character to "sign" a lot of things and programming it as a KBS was WAY better than pasting it everytime.
NOW, if only we could convince to make the OSX and iOS KBSs sync via the cloud the way the iOS ones do now... Or at the very least, allow import/export ability to the KBSs.
I am able to copy and paste with a GearHead BT keyboard (KB6500BTIP) as follow:
To highlight text I hold Shift +C and use arrow keys to highlight.
Then after what I want to copy is highlighted I press Command +C.
When I want to paste what I "copy", I press Command + V.
Voila, it works
I am using an Ipad 2 with latest iOS 9
Yes there is, I tried using cmd v and it worked.
