To copy and paste on a MacBook, the standard method is to:
- Select or highlight the text, file, or item you want to copy.
- Press Command (⌘) + C to copy it.
- Move the cursor to where you want to paste.
- Press Command (⌘) + V to paste.
You can also use the right-click context menu to copy and paste by selecting the item, right-clicking (or control-clicking), choosing "Copy", then right- clicking at the destination and choosing "Paste." If you want to cut (move rather than copy) the item, you can press Command (⌘) + X to cut and then Command (⌘) + V to paste it elsewhere. For pasting without formatting, use Shift + Command (⌘) + V. These keyboard shortcuts are the most common and efficient way to copy and paste on a MacBook.
