Cut, Copy & PasteThis is probably the most useful tool you'll use while building webpages. The fact is that we can copy text or HTML code from any text area or webpage and put it anywhere you want. A letter or poem or newspaper/magazine article, a long...drawn out HTML document or just about anything you want to copy and save. It'll save you a lot of time.You must command your terminal to highlight the desired text and then use either Cut or Copy to temporarily store the info until you decide to Paste it onto your e-mail or webpage.To highlight the text you would like to cut or copy from a textarea hold your Shift key down while using your right-arrow key to highlight the text from left to right until you've highlighted all the desired text.
You can also use the arrow-down key to highlight downward 1 line at a time.If you have highlighted too many words you can use your left-arrow key to "un-highlight" the unwanted text.

You cannot Cut text from a webpage, only from a text-area such as a form-box. Use the Cmd+C command. The words are not lifted from the page but they are still in your terminals memory, so you can still paste it into a webpage-editor or e-mail or any textarea you would like.Top of Page
