I had tried an AcceleratorTable with AcceleratorEntries for cut, copy
and paste (using the standard IDs) before my initial post, but that
didn't make any difference as compared to having no AcceleratorTable
at all. After your suggestion, I also tried an empty AcceleratorTable,
but that didn't work either.

In my current solution (work around), the event handler looks up the
window with focus and delegates the event handling to that window if
it's a TextCtrl:

    def doCommand(self, event):
        windowWithFocus = wx.Window.FindFocus()
        if isinstance(windowWithFocus, wx.TextCtrl):
            windowWithFocus.Cut()
        else:
            cutCommand = command.CutCommand(self.viewer.model(),
                                            self.viewer.curselection())
            cutCommand.do()
