If it turns out that you need to move a block of text, image or other item from one part of a document to another, or from one application to another, you should use the instructions on your keyboard that we know to copy, cut, or paste into macOS.
On the Mac, the keyboard shortcuts for these actions are different from other devices such as a PC-based PC. For your Mac, you can proceed as follows:
- Highlight the text or item you want to move.
- Copy by pressing & # 39; Cmd + C & # 39; or Cut & # 39; Cmd + X & # 39; They both store the text or object selected, the difference being that the & # 39; Copy & # 39; leaving it in its original position while you & # 39; Cut & # 39; erase it.
- Place the mouse cursor where you want to place the text or item and paste by pressing & # 39; Cmd + V & # 39;
Keep in mind that the purpose may be in a separate document or in another application. It may also be that you want to copy it to a different device. Let's look at doing it.
Unique shortcuts
Most people use the & # 39; Cmd & # 39; shortcuts listed above, but you should know that there are alternatives. After returning an item or selecting an attachment, you can click on the & # 39; s right button and select & # 39; Cut, Copy or paste & # 39; menu. And from the dropdown menu for disappointing editing & # 39 ;.
Paste or combine styles
Sometimes, when you attach between documents that have different properties, or when you switch between different programs, the previous text may appear differently in the destination. This is because without knowing it, you copied the original text format.
To avoid this, you can use the command that ensures that the text that is passed back follows the paragraph format or document you are inserting, instead of the text you just left.
In these cases, instead of pressing the & # 39; Cmd + V & # 39; instructions to paste the text, go to the & # 39; Edit & # 39; then select & # 39; Paste and join the style & # 39 ;. There is a shortcut for keys to use as well, but it varies between applications.
Usually it is & # 39; Cmd + Shift + V & # 39 ;, but for other applications such as TextEdit, you will also need to press the Alt / Option key.

Copy and paste between macOS and iOS devices
The most advanced tip has to do with the release of Universal Clipboard from macOS Sierra, so you can copy some content to your Mac and paste it onto your iPhone device, or vice versa.
Assumption function is enabled, just highlight the item on your iPhone or iPad with the iOS operating system. For example, tap & # 39; Copy & # 39; Now open the document on your Mac and press & # 39; Cmd + V & # 39;
You can enjoy a delay of between 3 and 5 seconds in text mode, and a lot of image content, but soon something will be copied from one tool to another.
How do you know if Universal Clipboard is available? In addition to iOS 10 and MacOS Sierra or later, both devices must be logged into the same iCloud account and turned on for Bluetooth and Wifi. Both will have to meet the requirements of & # 39; Continued & # 39;
There are also a few other settings to check out. On Mac, open the & # 39; System Preferences> General & # 39; Make sure there is a check near & # 39; Allow transfer between this Mac and its iCloud & # 39; devices near the bottom of the menu.
On your iOS devices, open the & # 39; Settings> General> Diversion & # 39; options and make sure the option has a green slide. If you want to continue learning the tricks from your Mac app, you can take a look our guide on how to use black mode on Mac.
