Copy and Paste on a Mac

Copying and pasting on a Mac is a fundamental skill. Here's how to do it:

  • Copy: To copy text or an object, select it and then either:

    • Press Command (⌘) + C
    • Or, right-click (or Control-click) the selected item and choose "Copy" from the context menu. You can find the definition of right-click here.
    • Or, in the menu bar, click "Edit" and choose "Copy". You can learn about menu%20bar from this link.
  • Paste: To paste the copied item, navigate to where you want to insert it and then either:

    • Press Command (⌘) + V
    • Or, right-click (or Control-click) where you want to paste and choose "Paste" from the context menu. You can learn more about paste%20options here.
    • Or, in the menu bar, click "Edit" and choose "Paste".

Important Notes:

  • The item remains in your clipboard until you copy something else. Your clipboard stores the copied information temporarily.
  • You can use Command (⌘) + X to "Cut" an item. Cutting removes the item from its original location and places it in the clipboard for pasting elsewhere.
  • Some applications offer "Paste Special" options (usually found in the "Edit" menu), which allow you to paste the content in a specific format. Learn about paste%20special here.
