[2.0.7] defines.input_action.activate_cut removed?

defines.input_action.activate_cut was removed?

it is a unloggable, unblockable griefer tool now.
Would be great to have it restored, and a event for it so it can be logged!
Logging every item marked is spammy and laggy.

Thanks for the report however this is not a bug. Permissions system works on top of the input actions and whenever we do code changes around input actions we may remove some of the defines from defines.input_action. Copy tool and Cut tool are both going through InputAction::Copy (or InputAction::AlternativeCopy if holding shift) with the only difference being that cut tool when in cursor provides flag that it is a cut operation.

Similarly activate_copy was removed which now regressed how "spectators" that are allied force with other teams in PvP scenarios interact. There was a trick to enable permissions for "activate_copy", but not "copy" input which turned copy tool into measuring tool that you could use to count entities of allied forces, but not copy them. How to replicate such feature in 2.0?
