Cut Steps With Cut And Paste In Firefox
September 17, 2008 – 5:55 am
Do you frequently find yourself cutting and pasting non-consecutive lines of text from a Web page? I know it is a pain to select each portion of text, copy it, paste it and then repeat the process until you have captured all the text you need. Well if you use the Firefox 3 browser, permit me to lessen you burden.
Just highlight the first section of text that you want to copy then hold down the Ctrl key [on Windows] or the Command key [on Mac] while you select the other sections of text that you want to capture. After you have selected all the text that you want to copy, push the “c” while continuing to hold down the Ctrl [or Command] key to copy all of the highlighted sections of text. Next move to the location where you want to paste the text and push the “v” key while continuing to hold down the Ctrl [or Command] key to paste the text all at once.
This little tip will save you a little time and possibly a carpel tunnel operation so give it a try.
