Copying and pasting text or objects on Apple computers follows an unusual scenario for Windows users, since the Mac operating system installed on them has its own characteristics.
Instructions
Step 1
In order to copy an object in the Mac operating system, press and hold the key in this position for a while until a context menu appears, in which a list of commands will be available, including for copying data or text. In English versions of the Mac operating system, this feature is called Copy.
Step 2
Become familiar with your computer keyboard. Please note that all the basic commands for accessing text editing functions and performing tasks with files, working from the keyboard, are available not only for Windows, but also for Mac. However, the Ctrl key, which when pressed in combination with others, performs certain functions, has been replaced in the iMac by the Command key, or, as it is also known for short, Cmnd. When used in conjunction with C or V, it performs the functions of copying and pasting objects or text, just as it does on Windows.
Step 3
To launch the context menu of the selected object or text in the Macintosh operating system, hold down the left mouse button together with Cmnd, in the list that appears, select the command copy, cut, replace, and so on. All functions here are similar to Windows. The Cmnd key on the iMac can also be in the form of an icon, rather than a label with a name.
Step 4
Carefully study the instructions for using the Macintosh operating system before starting to work with it, because, despite the similarity of the basic functions with the Windows OS, many keyboard shortcuts have completely different, and sometimes opposite purposes, not to mention the organization of the file system itself and the operation of applications. Moving quickly from one operating system to another is very difficult, even for confident PC users. You can find instructions on how to use the Macintosh functions on various torrents and Mac software support sites.
