General domain of usage  
Spreadsheet applications

**Keyboard shortcuts** are a valuable tool for beginners learning Excel, as they can significantly improve efficiency and 
productivity. Here are some essential keyboard shortcuts that you should know when working with Excel:

- `Ctrl + C`: **copy** selected cells or text;
- `Ctrl + X`: **cut** selected cells or text;
- `Ctrl + V`: **paste** copied or cut cells or text;
- `Ctrl + Z`: **undo** the last action;
- `Ctrl + Y`: **redo** the last undone action;
- `Shift + Arrow Keys`: **select** cells in the direction of the arrow keys;
- `Fn + F2`: **edit** entry in the cell;
- `Esc`: **cancel** an entry in the cell or formula bar;
- `Ctrl + Shift + Down Arrow`: **select the column** from the selected cell to the end of the table (same logic for the Up, Left and Right Arrows).





Is it true that Ctrl + V pastes copied cells?

I won’t be there to check if you use those shortcuts but, I can not stress enough, the importance of fast command when dealing with documents (Excel, Word, it does not matter).

Get yourself used to using them, and you will thank me later 🙂
