Description
Almost all of the menus in the right click context menu have keybinding labels on the right side of the menu item. Even though Cut / Copy / Paste do have keybindings the labels are not displayed.

VS Code does show the labels and I think it makes for a better user experience to do so.

Research direction
No file, test, or entry point is named in the issue. Start by locating the right-click context-menu definitions for Cut, Copy, and Paste and compare them with commands that already display keybinding labels. Done means those three menu items show their existing keybindings consistently with the VS Code reference.
