To some of you this might be a dumb question, but, why do shortcuts like Ctrl+V (Paste) etc, work for me :s

[hobo]

they work for everyone lol.

[:Hazel]

i use control & A alot to "highlight all" everyone can use them as far as i know.

[Caution]

Because they're like that on every computer.

[2hd.]

Its designed to :s

[summer]

because that's how a pc works.

[Bladder]

Because it's just how a shortcut works.

[letisix]

I think it's Built in with Microsoft or Other Company's When you download windows Ect..

[Hargreaves]

should work for every pc

[Charlie]

As others have said, it works for everyone, on loads of different computers.

[OMGitsaROSS]

I think sid ment they dont work.

It'll be something to do with you're actual keyboard
I think it may have limited things maybe , or that NUM migh be off?

l[ I dont think NUM makes a difference ]l

[Robzor]

As people said, it works for everyone, on allsorts of comps

[OMGitsaROSS]

if it isnt working
try CP and change it all?

[Ostinato]

They work on all - their just basic set commands lol.

Mac computers use like "Apple & v" though...

[Seatherny]

lol brandon.
They work for everyone.
Eg. CTRL+P = Print
Ctrl+c = copy
ctrl+a = highlight all
ctrl+x = cut

[benjamin]

i think he ment DIDN'T work for him?

anyway, i'd look into your keyboard & mouse settings in control panel.

[Teenager!]

Could be a fluke.

Might be that your settings are incorrect, or you may not have Windows.
Might be that you don't have an edition of Windows with it on? Unsure.

[Browney]

Will both keys work seperately? If so, it's not the keyboard it's probably the settings.

Yeah.... a reacurring problem is a fluke....

[lSander]

I love it, using it umm, all the time :).

[^.^]

shortcuts and things like that work on all windows computers not sure about mac since their quite cheap :P

[DiscoPat]

It works for all computers, but if it doesnt then the keyboard has issues..

[brandon]

Massive typo, I mean't dont :'(

Sorted it now anyway :s Worked after I restarted the computer.
