A large percentage of modern work at a computer is done in the browser. But sometimes, you need native applications, which run on your operating system, like Windows or macOS.
Learning keyboard shortcuts for your operating system can help you to do your work more efficiently.
It's possible to copy and paste, or switch through applications, using the mouse. But it's faster to use your keyboard.

Ctrl-C (⌘-C) - copy
Ctrl-V (⌘-V) - paste
Ctrl-X (⌘-X) - cut
Ctrl-Tab (⌘-Tab) - rotate through applications
