Apparently command x has been programmed to go to an app. In this case its to OnePassword. I checked System Settings to see if I could change it but it doesn't appear there. How do I restore it to the default which is when command x deletes highlighted text?

Mac mini, macOS 15.3
Have you restarted your Mac lately?
Rebooting is the best first step in troubleshooting.
If a simple reboot of your Mac doesn’t fix things, see if the problem still happens in safe mode. Safe mode will often correct weird software behavior by forcing the OS to clear caches, do disk repair and other self-maintenance and housekeeping and temporarily disables third-party mods.

TIP - You may need to use a wired USB keyboard for this. If you have the Magic Keyboard, plug that into the Mac with its charging cable.
Does the same thing happen while in Safe mode?
You can exit safe mode by restarting your Mac normally, then reevaluate the problem.

This means that some third party software installed a modification that captures this keyboard shortcut.
Please run Etrecheck and post its full report here.
Use the “additional text” button and paste the report into the text box.

That would sound about right if as mentioned earlier a Third Party Software like Karabiner-Elements were installed.
It is a popular free choice for advanced remapping and complex customizations, including one-to-one key remapping, function key modifications, and creating shortcuts with multiple keys
To drill down on this issue, it is suggested using the application suggested by @Luis Sequeira1
Thank you. I will try that.
It worked! Thank you.
