How to Copy and Paste on a Chromebook
It's quite simple.
If you're wondering how to copy and paste on a Chromebook, it’s important to learn this basic function, as it's fundamental on any computer. Chromebooks are affordable and practical options compared to laptops that use Windows or Mac, although the ChromeOS operating system can feel a bit different for those accustomed to more conventional platforms. Some commands or features may work differently than expected.
Fortunately, the process of copying and pasting is straightforward. Here’s how to do it:
- Select the text you want to copy.
- Press CTRL + C.
- Place the cursor where you want to paste the text.
- Press CTRL + V.
This method is undoubtedly the fastest and easiest. If for some reason this key combination doesn’t work, you can also select the text and right-click to open a menu that will have the options to "copy" and "paste."
If you don't have a conventional mouse, you can right-click in two ways: by holding down the Alt key while clicking, or by tapping the touchpad with two fingers instead of one.
That’s it! Now you can enjoy your Chromebook without complications.
