I don't use ctrl-c and ctrl-v for copy/paste. I prefer the seemly ancient way of Ctrl-Insert and Shift-Insert.
It allows for one handed quick navigation, selection, deletion and copy/pasting.
It also needs a real keyboard not one of those arty useless ones with half the keys missing :)
Its a standard and has existed for as long as I remember in Unix and Windows. Still in windows 10 as I have checked.
I forget what I press and can't explain it when asked so I went and wrote down the common if not all the ones I use....
copy and paste
| Ctrl-Insert | Copy |
| Shift-Insert | Paste |
Navigation
| Ctrl-Right | move cursor to next word |
| Ctrl-Left | move cursor to start of current word |
| Ctrl-Up | move cursor to start of paragraph |
| Ctrl-Down | move cursor to end of paragraph |
| Ctrl-Home | Move cursor to top of document |
| Ctrl-End | Move cursor to bottom of document |
| Ctrl-PageUp | Move cursor to top of page |
| Ctrl-PageDown | Move cursor to bottom of page |
| Home | Move cursor to start of line |
| End | Move cursor to end of line |
and the important selections
Just the navigations with shift really.
| Shift-Ctrl-Right | Move cursor to next word and select all between |
| Shift-Ctrl-Left | Move cursor to start of word and select all between |
| Shift-Ctrl-Up | move cursor to start of paragraph and select all between |
| Shift-Ctrl-Down | move cursor to end of paragraph and select all between |
| Shift-Home | Move cursor to start of line and select all between |
| Shift-End | Move cursor to end of line and select all between |
| Shift-Ctrl-Home | Move cursor to top of document and select all between |
| Shift-Ctrl-End | Move cursor to bottom of document and select all between (in Excel it does to the end of valid data. very handy) |
| Shift-Ctrl-PageUp | Move cursor to top of page and select all between |
| Shift-Ctrl-PageDown | Move cursor to bottom of page and select all between |
finally the deletes
| Shift-Delete | Deletes whole line |
| Ctrl-Delete | Deletes to end of word |
| Ctrl-Backspace | Deletes to start of word |
Don't have a ctrl-x cut equivalent but since the finger is there, a tap on delete key does the job.
The Up/Down ones tend to vary between programs so don't always work as explained above.
