This bug report is obsolete after major changes in the keyboard preferences.

I easily find Cut in either Tree or Name view by typing c-u-t.

I do not expect c-c-c to do that, and in fact typing that gives blank results.

testing on W10-CE audacity-win-ra9a6f01-2.2.0-alpha-18-jul-17
and on macOS Sierra 10.12.5 d6e09e14 26Jun17

Once focus is *in the list* then indeed typing "C" repeatedly cycles through the entries with "c" or "C" in then - including "Cut".

Looks to be ok on Windows and Mac

RESOLVED FIXED
Bug was reported in 2010.  Not clear which commit fixed it, but it works for me now.
