    Using Hotkeys
    Start by highlighting the text you want to copy. On the Chromebook touchpad, you can press and hold your finger to create a selection box that will highlight the text you want to copy as you move your finger. Everything that’s highlighted will be copied. Using a mouse for this type of selection allows for a bit more precision and speed.
    Ctrl + C When using this keyboard hotkey combination it copies the highlighted text that you select with your trackpad.
    To paste the text that you’ve copied, you’ll use the Hotkeys Ctrl + V on your keyboard.  Then, you’ll see that the text you copied has gotten transferred to your desired location.

    Using the Chrome browser
    If you want to copy text, highlight it with your trackpad. 
    Next, go to the upper right of your Chrome browser to the three dots and click on it with your trackpad. Then, move your cursor down to copy and click on it. This copies the text you’ve highlighted.
