When you are busy typing at your keyboard,
sometimes it wastes a lot of time to take your
hands off the keyboard to grab the mouse and move
it around.
Say you want to copy everything you have written
so far and paste it into another document.
How can you quickly and easily do that?
Here’s how on a PC:
1. Hold down the control key and press the
letter “A” on the keyboard. This highlights all
the text (hence the “A” is for all).
2. Again hold down the control key and press
the letter “C” on the keyboard. This copies all
the text to the clipboard (“C” is for copy).
3. Now go to the place you want to insert the
text and click Control “V” (Picture the “V” as the
karat pointing to the place you want to insert the
copy).
Voila! Your text is in it’s new place. . . and it
took only a second or two.
And here’s some more keyboard shortcuts:
Say you made a mistake and you want to undo that
last thing you did, just press Control “Z”
To re-do what you just did, press Control “Y”.
If you have a MAC: just use the “Command” key
instead of the “Control” key.
