Re: [libreoffice-users] Copying text

Hi :)
There are many ways.  You can even mix&match.  My usual favourite is
to select the text with the mouse;
(single click at the start or end and then keeping my finger down on
the left mouse button drag the mouse arrow until all the text is
selected and then release the mouse button)

Then push down and hold the Ctrl key with my little finger.  While i'm
holding that down i press the "c" key with my middle finger.
Ctrl c
This naturally positions my index finger to hover just above the "v".
Without moving the rest of my hand i ease up on the middle finger but
leave my little finger pressing down on the Ctrl key.

Then i use the mouse to move to the 1st target area and when i get
there push down sharply with my index finger and release my index
finger quickly so that it's hovering again.  Briefly the combination
was;
Ctrl v
"bombs away" right?  Then move swiftly to the 2nd target are and tap
the v key again with my little finger not having moved off the Ctrl
key the whole time.  Repeating the same move over and over until the
text i had initially selected has landed in all the right places.

Ctrl c = copy and oddly c stands for copy, right?
Ctrl v = paste and the v looks a bit like a down arrow

Another interesting one is

Ctrl x = cut and the x looks a little like a pair of scissors

If it goes horribly wrong then

Ctrl z = undo

Tom :)
