Copying and pasting operations are basic but practical, and mastering details can improve efficiency. First, after selecting the text on the computer, press Ctrl C or Command C to copy, and Ctrl V or Command V to paste; on the phone, select "Copy" and "Paste" by long pressing the text. Secondly, copying is not limited to text, but can also be used for pictures, links, files and folders, but may be limited when pasting, such as plain text editors do not support formatted content. In addition, use the clipboard history (Win V) to call the content copied multiple times; the cursor position should be confirmed before pasting to avoid errors; batch copy and paste can save time. The combination of the above techniques can make the operation more efficient.

Copying and pasting is one of the most basic and commonly used operations on computers and mobile phones. Although it seems simple, if you master some details, you can make your operation faster and more accurate.

Basic operations on different devices

On most devices, the logic of copying and pasting is similar: first select the content, then perform copying, and finally paste it to the target position.

• Computer (Windows/macOS):
  After selecting the text, press Ctrl C (Windows) or Command C (Mac) to copy, and paste Ctrl V or Command V

  

• Mobile phone (iOS/Android):
  Press and hold the text long, select "Copy" when the options menu appears, and then press and select "Paste" in the input box.

Some applications may have slightly different interaction methods, such as when copying a link in the browser, just click the "Copy" button.

Copy and paste can be used more than just text

Many people only know how to copy text, but they can actually copy other types of content:

• Picture : Right-click the picture in the web page or file manager, select "Copy", and then you can paste it in the document or chat window.
• Link : The copied link can be directly pasted in the browser address bar to open, or sent to others.
• Files and folders : You can right-click on the computer and then "Paste" to another location to move or backup files.

Note: Content in different formats may be limited when pasting, such as when pasting text in format in plain text editors, the format will be lost.

Small tips to improve efficiency

There are several practical tips to make copy and paste easier:

• Using Clipboard History (Windows):
  Press Win V to call up the clipboard history, which will save multiple recently copied contents, making it easier to call repeatedly.

• Avoid misoperation :
  Make sure that the cursor position is correct before pasting, especially in a table or code editor, if you are not careful, you can easily stick the wrong place.

• Copy and paste in batches :
  If you want to copy multiple files or paragraphs, you can copy them in batches and paste them uniformly to save time.

Basically that's it. Although it is simple, it can save a lot of trouble if used properly.
