Apple cut and paste commands Pc#

Many programs apparently did not bother to incorporate 'copy', 'cut' or 'paste': DBaseIII doesn't seem to have any method of inputting data aside from typing it, or placing it elsewhere short of exporting to some other file format. If you wanted to copy some cells from Lotus 123, you would go forward-slash (to make menus appear, menus were hidden in Lotus also), C for Copy, and then, after issuing the copy command, you would indicate what it was you wanted to copy (instead of making your selection first). If you wanted to copy text in WordPerfect, you would go Alt (pause for menus to appear, menus were usually hidden), E (for edit menu), C (for copy). Now you can’t use Command + X key and Command + V key combination to cut and paste-like we do with Windows using Ctrl + X key and Ctrl + key combination.

You can also add custom menu items to the edit menu (see Adding Custom Items to the Edit Menu).

The default commands of the edit menu are (potentially) Copy, Cut, Paste, Select, and Select All. Damn! I never thought I'd see the day when people thought the cut, copy, paste keyboard commands were mostly a PC thing, and said 'Gee it would be nice if the Mac would do that too!' To copy a portion of the screen to the clipboard, press Command-Control-Shift-4. The UIMenuControllerclass displays an edit menu above or below the selection to be copied, cut, or pasted into.
