There are many computer keyboard shortcuts that help the user save time when using a computer. By pressing the 'control' key and the letter C (ctrl+c), you can copy highlighted portions of text on the screen. The control buttons are usually on the bottom row of a keyboard and feature the letters 'ctrl'. To paste the copied text, one could use the shortcut 'ctrl+v'.

These shortcuts differ slightly when using an Apple Mac computer. These keyboards have a special key called 'command', which is pressed instead of 'ctrl'. Occasionally, the 'shift' key is also used for more advanced shortcuts.

For some people, only a few shortcuts are relevant to their computer usage, for example, 'ctrl+c' and 'ctrl+v' (or command+c and command+v). Other popular shortcuts include 'ctrl+z' (command+z), which undoes the previous action, 'ctrl+t' (command+t), which opens a new tab in the web browser, 'ctrl+s' (command+s), which saves the open document, and 'ctrl+f' (command+f), which allows the user to search for specific words in a text.
