Basic keyboard shortcuts
Some keyboard shortcuts work anywhere on your computer.
Copy
When you copy, your computer remembers information (text or files) so that you can place it somewhere else, move it, or duplicate it.
To copy, select text or a file and press ctrl + C on a PC or command + C on a Mac.
Paste
When you paste, your computer reproduces the information (text or files) that you previously copied. The text or files will be placed in the window or text box where you are working.
To paste, press ctrl + V on a PC or command + V on a Mac.
Find
In many applications, you can use the find command to search for specific text. This command is available in most web browsers and word processors.
To find, press ctrl + F on a PC or command + F on a Mac.
