    Three actions that work together:

    COPY

    Like a photocopy 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 — puts the copied or cut text in a new spot.

    Ctrl + V
