Re: Copy/Paste

I was told the X is because it sorta looks like scissors. The V maybe
because it kinda looks like an arrow pointing down (set the cut or copied
piece down).

Sounds like a good question for SuperUser.com.

Out of curiosity does anyone know who's bright idea it was to make C and

(along with Ctrl) the Copy and Paste keys? Okay, the C I understand,

why V? P was obviously taken by 'Print' but V doesn't make any sense.

For

about the fourth time today (and uncounted times in the past) I have
fat-fingered the Ctrl-C when I meant to paste.

Maybe because they are right next to each other?

Just a guess.
