Ladyfeline explains Cut and Paste for webTV
How about a Copy, Cut, & Paste lesson? It is one of the greatest things you will ever learn for surfing and making web pages. First I will explain how to do it and then I will give you a few instances where C,C,P comes in really handy.
First of all, every C,C,P command will consist of pressing and holding your "cmd" key and then pressing another key at the same time. If you are using a "wired" keyboard, your "cmd" key probably won't say "cmd" on it. On my "wired" keyboard, my "cmd" key is the windows button. Play around with the different keys with pictures on them to see which key is your "cmd" key.
Okay, here are the different C,C,P commands:
cmd+F-- Brings up your "find" box. When you type a word or phrase in your "find" box and hit return, that word or phrase will be highlighted on that page.
cmd+G-- This will highlight the "next" occurence of the word or phrase in your find box.
cmd+B-- This will highlight the "previous" occurence of what is in your find box.
cmd+A-- This will highlight "everything" on a page. If you are in an input box, it will highlight only what is in the input box.
cmd+C-- This will "copy" everything that is highlighted.
cmd+V-- This will "paste" whatever it was that you copied into an input area, such as an email that you are writing etc.
cmd+X-- Use this command with caution. It will "cut" out everything that is highlighted in a text area. Two things happen when you use this command. First everything that is highlighted is copied and then "cut". If you mistakenly "cut" something out that you wanted, just keep your cursor where it is and press cmd+V to put it right back.
Now here are a couple of more commands that work with C,C,&P. To highlight only a few words at a time, place the cursor next to the words you want to highlight in a "text area". Now hold "shift" and press either the up, down, left, or right arrow.
Using shift+right will highlight one letter at a time moving to the right. Using shift+left will highlight one letter at a time moving backwards. If you highlight a letter or so too much, just keep holding "shift" and move the cursor in the other direction to un-highlight. (Is that a word? un-highlight. Oh well, you know what I mean).
