Avalon Edit CutCopyPaste Commands from MahApps.Metro Button

I'm implementing a custom simplified editor in WPF using AvalonEdit and MahApps.Metro. I am stuck trying to get the cut/copy/paste/undo/redo commands working using MahApps.Metro icon/circle buttons instead of a toolbar.



The AvalonEdit sample uses a toolbar, and if I add a similar toolbar to my current application, it works as expected.



I want to call the Cut/Copy/Paste from a series of icon buttons on my app layout instead of inside a toolbar. My MahApps.Metro buttons are as follows. I've tried it with and without the Command Target set. In both cases nothing happens when I click them.



<Button Width="48"
Height="48"
Margin="24,0,0,0"
Style="{DynamicResource MahApps.Metro.Styles.MetroCircleButtonStyle}"
HorizontalAlignment="Center"
VerticalAlignment="Center"
Command="Undo"
CommandTarget="{Binding ElementName=xmlTextEditor.TextArea}">
<iconPacks:PackIconMaterial Kind="UndoVariant" />
</Button>


I'm relatively new to WPF so I might be missing something really basic here. Any help is appreciated.

    This was exactly the link I used to add the commands and hookup my buttons manually; I was unsure why I needed to add them to the buttons manually when the toolbar worked out of the box. It could be an AvalonEdit thing, but hey it's working now.
