Cut with a keyboard shortcut - this is how it works on Windows and Mac OS

Both under Windows and MacOS you can cut text, files or other elements with a key combination. The other option is to cut out the element using the context menu.

Shortcut text on Mac OS

With the following steps you can cut text with a key combination and insert it again at any place.

1. Select the text you want to cut.
2. Press the [cmd] + [X] keys on the keyboard.
3. The cut text is now on your clipboard.
4. Insert the text at any point with [cmd] + [V].

Shortcut files on Mac OS

Cutting files works a little differently than cutting text. Another button is required here.

1. Select the file you want to cut.
2. Copy them to the clipboard with [cmd] + [C].
3. Paste the file anywhere with [cmd] + [alt] + [v]. At that moment it also disappears from the original position.

Cut out with a key combination under Windows

In Windows, the [Ctrl] key replaces the [cmd] key used in Mac OS.

1. Here, too, you first have to select the desired text or file.
2. Then press the key combination [Ctrl] + [X].
3. The element is also saved to the clipboard under Windows.
4. Insert the element again at any position with [Ctrl] + [V].
