CMD+c to copy

CMD+v to paste... if you're wondering... CMD+p was taken for Printing already & c & v are close, so easy to remember.

You can also drag copy with a Mouse, & double or triple clicks copy whole word or whole line.

how to select multiple lines of text using trackpad I have just bought a new MacBook and I want to copy multiple highlighted lines of text in Yahoo Mail using the trackpad. When I right click on the highlighted lines it deselects all the lines. What setting do I need to change?

How to copy text from Essentials information There's so much to learn, so many tips, on the third day of using my new Mac 24" (OS Monterey), I'm sure I won't remember it all … or where to find it again later on. So I wanted to copy a suggested keyboard shortcut from one of the pages in the Essentials information pop-up. But using my new mouse to click & drag didn't work … it only dragged the window. How do I copy particular text items so that I can paste them in my collection of info. I want to use later?
