Pluggers by Rick McKee for August 29, 2017

it takes getting used to

My grandkids have to get older so they can teach my wife. She won’t listen to me.

Not to mention older Pluggers need their younger Plugger counterparts to help them access their online bank accounts and do online research.;-d

Not to be picky (as a – probable – Plugger, I feel like I’m allowed), but it would be “Control” (typically shortened to “Ctrl”), not “Command” (typically shortened to “Cmd”). And Ctrl-C is Copy, not Cut, which would be Ctrl-X. So Cut and Paste would be Ctrl-X, Ctrl-V, while Copy and Paste would be Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V. (OK, end of “picky”…)

I still remember when cutting and pasting meant scissors and glue. I have to admit, I do like Control Z.

Why not right click on the selection?

FYI — they are on a Mac.Cut, copy, paste, and other common shortcutsCommand-X Cut the selected item and copy it to the Clipboard.Command-C Copy the selected item to the Clipboard. This also works for files in the Finder.Command-V Paste the contents of the Clipboard into the current document or app. This also works for files in the Finder.Command-Z Undo the previous command. You can then press Command-Shift-Z to Redo, reversing the undo command. In some apps, you can undo and redo multiple commands.Command-A Select All items.

That’s copy and paste….. as @Leftcoastken remarked.
