Robin Williams Mac OS X Book, Jaguar Edition, The

Commands Z, X, C, V

Thoughtfully, the keyboard shortcuts for the undo/cut/copy/paste commands are very handy. Notice on your keyboard the letters Z, X, C, and V, all lined up in a row right above the Command key. Remember, select first (except to Undo); then hold down the Command key and lightly tap the letter.

Command Z will Undo	(Z is very close to the Command key).
Command X will Cut	(X like eXiting or Xing it out).
Command C will Copy	(C for Copy).
Command V will Paste	(V because it is next to C; it’s sort of like the caret symbol ^ for inserting).
