It’s often easiest to type text into a word processor that you’re familiar with, and then copy and paste it into a web form. This week we have seen some problems when pasting into TheHub, both in Safari and Firefox. Fortunately there is an easy work-around: use keyboard shortcuts.
Mac Shortcuts
On a Mac, keyboard shortcuts use the “Command” key (also called the “Apple key”). That means you hold down “Command” while typing the appropriate key. Some handy keys to memorize:
- Copy is Command-C.
- Paste is Command-V.
- Undo is Command-Z.
- Cut is Command-X.
- Select all is Command-A.
Windows Shortcuts
On a PC, keyboard shortcuts use the “Control” key. That means you hold down “Control” while typing the appropriate key. Some handy keys to memorize:
- Copy is Control-C.
- Paste is Control-V.
- Undo is Control-Z.
- Cut is Control-X.
- Select all is Control-A.
