    Three actions work together:

    COPY

    Like a copy machine. The original stays, and you get a second copy.

    Ctrl + C

    CUT

    Like scissors. The original is removed and moved to a new place.

    Ctrl + X

    PASTE

    Like a glue stick. It puts the copied or cut text in a new spot.

    Ctrl + V
