There are various keyboard shortcuts that one can use to navigate and manipulate text very quickly and easily using only your keyboard. Some of these shortcuts include Copying, Cutting and Pasting. These are fundamental shortcuts that everyone should know because they are virtually universal in all text programs as well as in your operating system and will make your life easier.
For copying simply select the text you want to copy and press CTRL and C at the same time. Then move to the place you want to paste it and press control V. If you want to remove the text from the original spot you can Cut it by pressing CTRL and X and then paste it using CTRL and C.
You can navigate text quickly by using CTRL. Simply hold down the CTRL button and use the arrow keys and you will move by a single word. A word is defined by being separated by a space. Sometimes if there are hyphens this method will go to the hyphen, but in general it will move by the word separated by a space.
To select the text as you move simply hold SHIFT and use the arrow keys and you will move by a single character. If you want to select by a whole word you can hold SHIFT and CTRL and press the arrow keys and you will move by an entire word.
Getting quickly from the top to the bottom of the document you can use CTRL and HOME or CTRL and END, respectively.
All of these and a few others are illustrated in a video I recorded recently that you can see below.
