You can do this by clicking and dragging your cursor over the text, or by using the &#8220;Command + A&#8221; keyboard shortcut to select all of the text in a document.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Once the text is selected, use the &#8220;Command + C&#8221; keyboard shortcut to copy it to your clipboard. Alternatively, you can right-click the selected text and select &#8220;Copy&#8221; from the dropdown menu.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To paste the copied text, place your cursor where you want the text to appear and use the &#8220;Command + V&#8221; keyboard shortcut. Alternatively, you can right-click and select &#8220;Paste&#8221; from the dropdown menu.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a few bonus tips that can come in handy when using the copy and paste function on a Mac:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>You can also access the copy and paste function through the &#8220;Edit&#8221; menu at the top of the screen. Simply click &#8220;Edit&#8221; and then select &#8220;Copy&#8221; or &#8220;Paste&#8221; from the menu.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you want to paste text without keeping the original formatting, you can use the &#8220;Paste and Match Style&#8221; option. This is useful when you want to paste text into a document or website that has a different formatting style.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How to Copy and Paste on Mac \/ MacBook\" width=\"1290\" height=\"726\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/zPb84W3sVok?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>To sum it up, copying and pasting on a Mac is a quick and easy process that can save you a lot of time and effort. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you&#8217;re transferring data within a document or between different applications, the &#8220;Command + C&#8221; and &#8220;Command + V&#8221; keyboard shortcuts are your best friends. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don&#8217;t be afraid to try out other keyboard shortcuts as well, as they can greatly increase your productivity and efficiency on your Macintosh.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Copy and paste is a simple yet essential function that is used frequently on computers.
