I'm 66 and not very knowledgeable about computers. I'm trying to learn how to cut and paste on my mini mac. The keyboard quit working a while back and I replaced it with a pc keyboard. The pc has a ctrl key and the mac has a command key. I was told they do the same thing, but Best Buy Geek squad tells me I need to get a mac keyboard with the command key to be able to cut and paste.Is that true?
So, you have a Mac with a non-Mac keyboard and want to cut and paste, right? Basically, the ctrl key on your keyboard is the same as a control key on a Mac keyboard, and the Windows key (between ctrl and alt) on your keyboard is the same as a command key on a Mac keyboard. On a Mac keyboard, the command to copy is command+c. On your keyboard, you would use the Windows key+c. For cutting, it would be Windows key+x. For pasting, it would be Windows key+v. I hope that helps!
Yes. If you have a Mac use a Mac keyboard. It will make your life much easier trust me!
