How to copy and paste on a Chromebook (All Laptops)
Copy-and-paste allows you to copy parts of the text, entire documents, entire web pages, images, and videos. You can copy text from one source to another if you want to paste it from one site into a Google Doc. Move the mouse pointer over the desired field and paste the text you want to copy and paste into Google Docs.
You can follow these steps to cut and paste text on Chromebooks and Chrome devices with mouse buttons. If you want to use the touchpad instead of keyboard shortcuts, you can copy and paste by tapping with two fingers on the touchpads and selecting an option from the pop-up context menu. To highlight a text snippet, press and hold the touchpad with one finger and drag a second finger over it to highlight it.
To highlight the text you want to cut, press Ctrl + C (or any combination of keys). Once the text is highlighted, tap two fingers on the touchpad to bring up the menu by right-clicking and select cut. To highlight the code, press the touchpad, hold it down, and drag your finger in the direction you want to cut the text.
Instead of using two text fields, try cutting out the text in the first field (Ctrl + X) and pasting it in the second (Ctrl + x).
Navigate to where you want to paste your copied text and press Ctrl + V. Right-click (or mouse-click) on the text you copied to reach the location in the Chromebook where you want to paste it, or copy and paste by selecting Paste from the pop-up menu (also with the mouse). If you don’t use a shortcut, that’s fine; just right-click and select the Insert option.

You can select a copy from a pop-up menu to click from the mouse, press the Alt key, tap the touchpad or tap a finger on the touchpads.
