I've looked around and it seems very active It's something you likely do a dozen—if not a hundred—times a day: Copy and Paste. Something's somewhere, and you want it someplace else, so you copy it then paste it in the new place—a modern version of Xeroxing a piece of paper, cutting out the text you wanted, and gluing (or pasting) it to the other document where you needed the text. It's an essential task but also tedious and repetitive—but it doesn't have to be. The tips and clipboard manager tools below will help you work faster when copying and pasting, so you can copy multiple items and paste them without wasting time going back and forth between multiple windows.

How to Copy and Paste on a Computer



Copy on Windows: Control+C and Control+V

First, a quick refresh. How do you copy and paste? Select the text or image you want, and on a Windows or Linux PC, or a Chromebook, press Ctrl+C to copy. Switch to the app or document where you want to add that item, and press Ctrl+V to paste.



Copy on Mac: CMD+C and CMD+V

Using a Mac? Press Command+C to copy, and Command+V to paste.



Swap C for X to Cut

Want to remove the text from the first document, and then paste it into the second? Press Command+X to cut the text (or Ctrl+X on a PC) and Command+V or Ctrl+V to paste, as normal.



Or use a menu. Select text, right-click on it, then choose from the Cut, Copy, and Paste commands on any computer.

How to Copy and Paste on Mobile



Copying text on iOS and Android works mostly the same way

It's even easier to copy and paste on mobile. In both iOS and Android, tap and hold on the text you want to copy, then drag the selector lines around all the text you want to copy, and tap Copy. Then tap and hold anywhere where you want to paste the text, and tap Paste. Keyboard shortcuts work, too. Use CMD+C and CMD+V to copy and paste from an external keyboard on an iPhone or iPad; use Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V on Android tablets. Ok, refresher out of the way, it's time for the fun stuff:

How to Copy and Paste Two Items on Mac



macOS comes with two clipboards

Now for something more fun if you're using a Mac. Say you want to copy two items. Instead of switching back and forth between the apps twice, copy the first item as before. Select the second item, and press Control+K to kill the item, as a super-powered version of the normal Cut command. It works best in text editing apps, and will cut the text from the page. Or, click at the beginning of a paragraph and press Control+K, and your Mac will cut the entire paragraph. To paste, use your default Command+V shortcut to paste the first item. Then, press Control+Y to yank your second clipboard item back from the dead and paste it into your document. It's a handy way to have two clipboards on your Mac. Note: Kill and Yank works in most native Mac apps, including iWork, Microsoft Office, and most text editors including iA Writer, Sublime Text, and more—but they may not work in some web apps like Google Docs. The kill command Control+K does work on iOS to cut selected text or a full paragraph; strangely, though, there's no yank command to paste it back again. Windows and Linux don't have Kill/Yank commands—though some apps like Emacs include similar shortcuts. Windows 10 is also getting a clipboard manager in an upcoming update—more on that below.

Use a Clipboard Manager to Copy More Items



Alfred's...

We visited IRock, a karaoke lounge. The experience was overall fun. 2 mics, you can rent a private room, they had food and drinks, which leads to the not so fun part. Drinks were reasonable, but not strong enough to let loose singing your heart out. Food, eh. I had a deep-fried octopus. It wasn't bad. Outside of that, the only thing that we enjoyed was the fries and tater tots. Sent the wings back because they were undercooked and they were small. They did attempt to fix it but burnt them in the process. If you plan to go, eat and drink before you get there. Maybe sneak your own bottle in. Take atleast 5 people with you who are down to have...

Food, pharmacy and a Starbucks in one place. Everything in one place. Can't say that I have been happy with the pharmacy lately. They give a time when the scripts will be filled - I, personally, have asked them time and time again, to please tell me if it will take longer than the original estimate, but on three separate occasions, they have left me hanging and I had to demand my meds be filled only to find out that they are still working on them or they have been filled and they just neglected to inform me. The ONLY reason I continue going, is because I haven't found another pharmacy closer to...
