Cut and Paste actions are activated by holding down the Command (cmd) key next to the Space bar. To Cut: Select whatever you want to cut by clicking the mouse button on it and then dragging the mouse to select all that you want. Press the Command key and the X key together to cut the selected item from your document. To Paste: Click wherever you want to insert the item to be pasted and then press the Command key and the V key together and the item will be pasted into the document. Originally the X key was chosen as it could be said to resemble a pair of scissors to cut with and the V key was something pressing down to paste the item.
