Switching from a Windows computer to a Macbook or Apple computer can be a bit confusing at first, especially when it comes to using keyboard shortcuts. In this guide, we’ll show you how to use keyboard shortcuts to copy and paste, as well as select all, on your Macbook.

To copy, hold down the control key and tap on the letter “c”. To paste, hold down the control key and tap on the letter “v”. To select all, press and hold the command key and then press the letter “a”.

Let’s try some examples. Say you want to copy the text “Money Market Accounts vs. Saving Accounts” from a website. Simply highlight the text and then press command + c to copy. You can then go to any other application and paste the text by pressing control + v.

To select all the text in an email or document, simply click somewhere in the text and then press command + a. This will automatically highlight all the text, which you can then copy by pressing command + c and paste by pressing control + v.

Using keyboard shortcuts on a Macbook may take some time to get used to, but once you’ve got the hang of it, it can save you a lot of time and effort.
