The easiest method for copying and pasting on a Chromebook is exactly the same as it is on Windows. Here's how it works:

  1. Highlight the text you want to copy

  2. Press CTRL + C

  3. Place the mouse cursor where you want to paste the text

  4. Press CTRL + V

That is, by far, the fastest and simplest way of doing it. If, for some reason, that doesn't work for you, you can also highlight the text and right-click to open up a menu that will have "copy" and "paste" buttons in it. Right-clicking on Chromebooks without a regular mouse can be done in two ways: Holding Alt and clicking, or tapping the touchpad with two fingers instead of one.

Got it? Good. Enjoy your Chromebook!
