edit module in X2??? is there another way??

Hey guys,
I've been using Sonar 6 for the past 6 years or so (been using cakewalk since 99!!) and I'm checking out X2 since I'm thinking about building a new i7 machine, and WTF? why would they get rid of the edit module??
In Sonar 6 (and, from what I recall, every earlier version I've used) I can simply click on a button to copy, cut, paste, undo, etc... all things found under the edit menu. In X2, thus far, every time I want to copy, cut, or paste something I have to use the damn edit menu, and it's ridiculous. 
DOES ANYBODY KNOW ANOTHER WAY TO CUT, COPY, PASTE USING THE MOUSE???
If you're thinking of telling me to use the keyboard shortcut, please DON'T! I'm already selecting the clips with the mouse, I'm already looking up at the screen, I don't want to look down at the keyboard and reorient my hand coordination to copy and paste. If you use keyboard shortcuts, great. I typically don't, and this is NOT a post about which way is better.
I'm almost certain that the edit module is the one module I used MOST in Sonar, and now it's gone! Anyone who's been using cakewalk as long as I have knows how quickly we can edit our tracks using the edit module and knows my frustration. I want to believe that Cakewalk would not remove this feature without replacing it with some superior means of editing clips with the mouse, so, PLEASE, if anyone knows what this might be... HOW??? cut, copy, paste (paste special!!!!!) undo.... How do I do these things quickly with the mouse in X2????????????
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry, double post, another thing I have to adjust to.
 
 
However, I do think there is a mouse that has multiple assignable buttons you could use?

A mouse with assignable side keys is a great way to deal with this.  Ctrl + drag copies a clip to the new location.  I have ctrl & shift assigned to my mouse side keys and undo assigned to the wheel click.  Huge time saver!  It also makes using keyboard shortcuts much faster since I hold the modifier key with the mouse and only have to find one button on the keyboard instead of stretching in weird ways to get key combos.
 
In any event, I hardly remember using Sonar 6!  Once you get used to it, I think you'll like X2 a lot better.  I had to go back to X1 a little while ago to work on a 32 bit project that had been on the shelf for a while, and it even felt archaic.

You know what? Why don't you guys just tell me how YOU cut, copy, and paste. (and undo, and paste special) Seriously. Let's take a survey. 

shortcuts, mostly all of us use shortcuts.
at first they seem hard to remember them all but once you remember a few, you remember a few more, than a few more.
before you know it you have memorized 50+combo keys to do all this stuff faster than lightning 

I use touch screen menus or keyboard shortcuts mostly. In fact, I didn't even notice the buttons were gone until I read one of these threads that popped up awhile back. Not sure how that happened, I do remember using buttons on other DAWs.

Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V and Ctrl-X (and a handful of others of course) are standard across Windows and (all?) Windows applications.  Not knowing and using them will really slow down your general computer use, not just in SONAR.

To copy press scroll wheel on mouse and make sure "smart tool" is selected, hold down ctrl and drag with left mouse. To delete press scroll wheel and select erase tool, left mouse click clip to be erased.

I have interns do it for me 
 
Personally, I use a lot of keyboard shortcuts with mouse gestures. ALT + CTRL are my two best friends. SHIFT is okay too.

The shortcuts I use most are for zooming. I have a terrible time zooming any other way. Ctrl+F is quite useful as well!
 
Another Side-Note, I found that I need to perform a Ctrl+Shift+A before I export anything to ensure I'll REALLY get the "Entire Mix". It's habit-forming. I despise short-cuts, but when I have to use them, I get somewhat comfortable.
 
It'll probably be another few years before I see a dire need for touch, but Skylight needs some tweaking for touch to be as useful as I'd want to see. Slate's figured that one out, albeit with a limited vision. I've suggested to CW a better way of doing this than Slate. I dunno if it fell through the cracks or not, though.

Cracks?  There ARE no cracks, only not yet filled feature requests.  :)
