Google Drive Adds Multitext Selection and File Copy / Paste Shortcut Support

TL; DR

  • Google Drive adds multiple text selection.
  • Google Drive gets a shortcut to copy and paste files.

Google Drive has finally added support for two basic features, which you probably should have had from the beginning.

The first important addition is the selection of various texts, such as Microsoft Word. Unfortunately, unlike Word, Google Drive requires a total of four keyboard shortcuts to select multiple sections of text. These shortcuts are:

– Ctrl + Alt + Shift + Left / Right Arrow in Windows – Ctrl + Cmd + Shift + Left / Right Arrow in Mac

The second update Google Drive received was a shortcut for copying and pasting files. Fortunately, Google came up with a much simpler, familiar combination:

– Ctrl + C, Ctrl + X and Ctrl + V on Windows – Cmd + C, Cmd + X and Cmd + V on Mac

These new updates are relatively minor, but they go a long way in closing the gap with Word and providing a solid quality of life update.
