But what if it's something like an element on a webpage like this image. Sure if I'm going to select some text I just hit Command C and I copy.
Now while we're here in Safari let me show you how copying is not always clearcut. I can paste it into the form for a second try. But if something goes wrong I actually have a copy of that in my Clipboard now. Just two quick keyboard shortcuts there and then I hit Send. So what I usually do is when I finish typing a message like this I do quick Command A and then Command C. Now you have to remember everything again. Try to go back but the text you typed is gone. You hit Send and then you get an Error message.
So say you've finished filling out a web form, like this one, and you're about to hit Send. That is to quickly copy something before I submit it. So here's something I've been in the habit of doing for decades. For instance here's CloudClip Manager that I've been using but I like a lot of these others as well too and I've used many of them. So you should look through the ones that are available and find one that best fits your needs. All of them are slightly different in the features they have. Here in the App Store if you search for Clipboard Manager you're going to come up with tons of them. I have one called CloudClip that's right here and I can click on it and see the last few things that I copied. Now if you like the idea of remembering multiple items when you copy so you have kind of a history of what you've copied then you should get a Clipboard Manager. So if you just put your cursor there and you use Control K it grabs everything from the current position to the end of the line. Control K also acts differently if you don't select something. So down here I can do Control Y to yank and then Command V to Paste and you can see how it grabs each thing from its separate buffer. So I've now got quick brown in the second buffer here but in the Clipboard I can then do a Command C to copy jumps over. Now it is important to note that this is separate from the Copy and Paste buffer. You could see it puts it down there and assuming it is plain text it is picking up whatever style is already set for this line. Now I can use Control Y to yank it back out of that second buffer. Now it's going to do a cut, so it's going to pull that out. So if I wanted to copy something I could do Control K. It's called Kill and Yank and it's done with Control, not Command, Control K and Control Y. However, there's a hidden second buffer that goes back to macOS Unix-like roots. Now when you Copy and Paste you can only hold one thing in the Copy buffer, also called the Clipboard, at a time. Under Edit and you'll see Paste and Match Formatting. But if I were to copy this, add a new line and paste this in, it retains that style or I could use Paste and Match Style and you could see it picks up the style that I started with with that blank paragraph. So you can copy this and paste it into the same paragraph and it will pick up the style. It's the same here in Pages although Pages uses Paragraph Style. No style at all so it inherits the style of the current line or paragraph that you're on. So think of the regular paste as including style and using Paste and Match Style as just including plain text. So it retains the style of the current paragraph. But if I were to instead go to Edit and Paste and Match Style, notice it is Option Shift Command V, then it just pastes plain text. What's the difference? Well, if I were to copy this text here, Command C, and then go here to the end of this line and paste you could see it retains the format that I copied. Now you can Copy and Paste, including the style, or Paste not including the style. You see I've got two lines here which have different styles. But there are many different advanced tips and tricks and I bet you don't know all of these.
