I have Cut, Copy, Delete and Paste custom commands in my ViewModel.  They all work fine via the contextMenu.  However, I have two problems trying to get shortcuts to work with them. 

1)  Ctrl-V, X, C never hit the command_executed.  For example, hitting Ctrl-V for Paste never hits the code for the Paste function.  However, if I make it Ctrl-B, it does hit the code and works fine.  Copy and Cut and suffer the same problem.  Delete DOES hit the code ever since i set AllowDelete=false in the FieldLayoutSettings. Could the man app, since it already has shortcuts for X, V, C etc be stealing what i want to do?  How to restrict it to the xamDataPresenter only, not the app?

2)  When the code is hit with, say, Ctrl-J for Cut, the e.Parameter is null, so my function cannot operate.  When i use the contextMenu, e.Parameter is the xamDataPresenter.  Paste works because it does not need the xamDataPresenter as parameter.

How can i make the shortcuts function with correct keys AND then function correctly w/ datapresenter?

Attached is pertinent ViewModel code for CutCommand (this forum always cuts it off for some reason)

void CutCommandBinding_CanExecute(object sender, CanExecuteRoutedEventArgs e)
        {
             e.CanExecute = true;
             e.Handled = true;
        }

void CutCommandBinding_Executed(object sender, ExecutedRoutedEventArgs e)
        { 
            XamDataPresenter xamDataPresenter = e.Parameter as XamDataPresenter;
            if (xamDataPresenter != null)
            {
                // do work here
            }
        }

this.CutCommand = new RoutedCommand();
            this.CutCommand.InputGestures.Add(new KeyGesture(Key.B, ModifierKeys.Control));
            this.CutCommandBinding = new CommandBinding();
            this.CutCommandBinding.Command = this.CutCommand;
            this.CutCommandBinding.Executed += new ExecutedRoutedEventHandler(CutCommandBinding_Executed);
            this.CutCommandBinding.CanExecute += new CanExecuteRoutedEventHandler(CutCommandBinding_CanExecute);

and XAML:
