There were some changes made in the engine to allow additional menu item 
parameters, but the command keys should still work. If they don't, try 
changing your menu group into a shared card group instead of a 
background group. That way they are more likely to receive keyboard input.

If that still doesn't work, the handler to catch copy/paste is very simple:

on commandkeyDown pKey
   switch pKey
     case "x"
       cut
       break
     case "v"
       paste
       break
     case "c"
       copy
       break
     case "z"
       undo
       break
     default
       pass commandKeyDown
   end switch
end commandkeyDown
