Sorry, misstated the issue. Neither <Ctrl>+C shortcut for Copy, nor the
<Ctrl>+X for Cut are involved. Those legacy CUA/Apple/CDE keyboard shortcut
norms are picked up in menu as annotation of the UNO.

Rather, it is the *unnecessary* duplicated assignment with "~" of mnemonic "C"
both to "~Cut" a selected column and also to delete a selected column with
"Delete ~Columns (for unprotected cells)" menu entry.

The key sequence is by column's context menu (right mouse) -> C, or  <Alt> + S
-> C via the sheet menu.

This is reachable via keyboard movements, and is also an accessibility issue.

In this case, simply resolved by removing the "~" from the "Delete ~Columns
(for unprotected cells)" associated with the uno.DeleteColumns UNO in
.uno:GenericCommands.xcu, and allowing it to auto assign. Just as the handling
for "Delete Rows (for unprotected cells)" .uno:DeleteRows still resident in
CalcCommands.xcu
