Copying and Pasting on a MacBook

Copying and pasting is a fundamental skill for using a MacBook. Here's how it works:

• Copying:

  • Select the text or item you want to copy.
  • Press <kbd>Command</kbd> + <kbd>C</kbd>. This saves the selected item to your clipboard.
  • Alternatively, you can right-click (or Control-click) on the selected item and choose "Copy" from the context menu.

• Pasting:

  • Click where you want to paste the copied item.
  • Press <kbd>Command</kbd> + <kbd>V</kbd>. This inserts the contents of the clipboard at the cursor's location.
  • Alternatively, you can right-click (or Control-click) in the desired location and choose "Paste" from the context menu.

• Cut and Paste:

  • To move text or an item instead of copying it, use <kbd>Command</kbd> + <kbd>X</kbd> (Cut) instead of <kbd>Command</kbd> + <kbd>C</kbd>. This removes the selected item and places it on the clipboard for pasting.

• Paste Special (Paste and Match Style):

  • Sometimes, you want to paste text without carrying over the original formatting (font, size, color, etc.). Use <kbd>Shift</kbd> + <kbd>Option</kbd> + <kbd>Command</kbd> + <kbd>V</kbd> to paste%20and%20match%20style. This pastes the text using the formatting of the destination.
  • In some applications, you can find "Paste and Match Style" in the Edit menu.
