asked this question several years ago and received the correct answer unfortunately have since forgot the answe. When placing a photo in a post what are the correct key stroke? Pretty sure the first was Command,2nd maybe Z?
anyone here using a iMac send me in the right direction.?
thx in advance.
Not a MAC guy but Z is undo, V is paste, C is copy in both Windoz and Mac worlds

So can use c+v
Thanks Big Daddy, I had waded through 150 pages of posts and never did find that old post!
better write this down somewhere so I don’t forget it again!!

Being redundant:
Copy (as in, make a copy) is Command + C
Press at the same time.
Paste is Command + V
Press at the same time.
Cut (as in, make a copy and delete original) is Command + X
Press at the same time.
For reasons known only to the former Steve Jobs, Command isn’t named that on the keyboard–it’s got the apple. And a “swoopy” thingy.
I had a post-it on my monitor for quite some time until the above got wedged into that thing inside my skull.

On my Dell, the key says Ctrl, which I take as control.

See, there’s a “control” on the Mac board, too. Which isn’t used in this case.
Ed
The Ctrl is what I use to do the functions you spell out. Go figure, I’ve never had a Mac, no particular reason, just never bought one.
And, (it’s a big and), daughter is a licensed Windows tech, takes care of a huge school district, and maybe she figures a Mac would just be too confusing for the old man.

Treat ‘Cmd’ as a shift key, just as ‘Ctrl’ is a shift (originally to get control functions on a teletype). Most of the Cmd-letter codes you mention were not invented by Jobs, but by the Microsoft team that developed Word 4 for Macintosh.
That squiggly ‘propeller’ thing is actually derived from a Scandinavian sign pictogram for ‘information’ – it is a stylized castle as seen from the air.
If you’re placing a photo in this forum, the photo needs to be on a hosting service, such as photobucket.
In photobucket, I simply select a photo by clicking on it, which yields an enlargement. I then click on the accompanying line of data which begins with [img], which automatically copies that data.
Here, I place the cursor where I want the photo to appear in my post, then right click, and in the drop-down which appears, click on “Paste”. The entire line of copied data will appear, but when I click on “Submit Your Reply”, the data will appear as the photo.
There’s no need to use the command key (mine is labelled as such) at all.

Someone, in the last 2 weeks, discovered a secret method of posting photos. It seems to work with Facebook and Google pics. You have to “view” the pic so you can right click and “copy image” It then can be pasted, like this Facebook pic
Edit I didn’t say it would work well. [:O]
Aha! Western Maryland narrow gauge! (Although in the “REPLY” window, as I type, the photo appears as it should, with no distortion.)
Here’s a picture from photobucket, using the procedure which I outlined in my previous post…
…in photobucket, using a Mac, click the photo, click the link, “paste” it here.
Wayne
Yes it does Henry, like Brians endless pictures of his radius photos, with all the different cars and locos, click on the picture, and the correct version shows up.
When I hit Reply to your post, the correct picture is what I see.
Mike.
I dunno I kind of like the WM 2 foot gauge.
And the Thin Man at the throttle! It’d be a real treat if Myrna Loy were the fireperson. [}:)]

I use Imgur …
Take pic
Edit for size etc.
Post to your Imgur acct.
copy BBCCode which includes location etc.
