The simple and easy answer is ctrl + c to copy and ctrl + v to paste. But there’s so much more to “copy and paste” on a Chromebook that you’ll want to read on for more details.
Learning how to copy and paste on a Chromebook is a must. It’s one of those repetitive actions that you’ll need to do frequently and quickly. Needless to say, while MacBook and Windows operating systems have their own copy and paste shortcuts, so do Chromebooks. If you’re new to Chrome OS, continue reading for a quick and to-the-point crash course.
Copy and paste allows you to copy sections of text, entire documents, whole web pages, images, and videos. Then paste the clipping to a different location. That can be a document file, email, or chat.
To efficiently and quickly copy and paste, you’ll want to use Chrome’s keyboard shortcuts.
For those of you who prefer to use the touchpad over keyboard shortcuts, you can also copy and paste by tapping the touchpad with two fingers and selecting an option from the pop-up context menu.
If using a mouse is more your thing, then simply right-click the mouse button on the highlighted text and choose from the context menu.
If your Chromebook device has a touchscreen, you can also copy and paste using the following method. However, be warned that it can be somewhat difficult to get the hang of, and it might be easier to use your keyboard or touchpad instead.
Paste without formatting means the inserted text won’t include links or formatted elements—like fonts, text size, spacing, or text color.
This allows you to copy and paste as plain text. It’s a great trick for when you want the pasted text to match the formatting of the document you’re working on.
Chromebook’s enhanced clipboard adds a tad more functionality to the usual copy and paste routine. Instead of copying and pasting just one thing at a time, the clipboard manager stores up to five items. Those items can be text, links, or image files.
To access the clipboard, take a look at your keyboard and find the search key. It’s where the caps lock would be on a Windows machine, and it looks like a magnifying glass. Now, press the search key + v.
A small clipboard menu will appear with up to five items, depending on how many things you have recently copied. To select an item, use the tab key or arrow keys to scroll up and down. Then press enter or click to choose an item. If you would like to delete items from the clipboard menu, simply press the x located on the right-hand side of each item.
Use the clipboard manager to copy and paste using the following steps.
If you would like to copy everything on a given document or web page, you can use ctrl + a. Keep in mind, however, that copying a web page will include images, headings, subheadings, and ads.
Want to copy and paste a photo? No problem.
If you want the image to be copied as it appears, select copy image. In most cases, that’s the option you need. In certain circumstances, for example, those of you writing for blogs or other online publications, you’ll need to copy the link. That’s when copy image address is the better choice.
Likewise, you can also copy and paste videos using the steps below.
To copy videos that you or your friends can watch later, use copy video URL. Use copy embed code for more specific blogging or article writing tasks.
The easiest way to copy and paste part of a video is to select copy video URL at current time. However, it does have its limitations. You can have the video start at a specific time, instead of from the beginning, but it will still play until the end.
The “current time” is the time at which the video is paused when copied. In order to copy and paste part of a video, follow these steps:
Absolutely. Sometimes you need your copy and paste to do a little more. The following extensions, available in the Chrome Web Store, add a bit more functionality to the same old, same old.
Copy and paste isn’t difficult, but it is something you’ll do over and over. To remember the various ways to copy and paste, reference the cheat sheet below:
