A sign appears that says “Your browser’s security settings do not allow the editor to perform text copying operations, use the keyboard (Ctrl/Cmd+C) for this.” But there is no such key on my keyboard. And where to get it? What to do?

This button on the keyboard is considered a service key on the Macintosh. And the combination of the "Cmd" key with other keys are "hot" useful shortcuts. For example, the combination “Cmd” + D in Safari, Google Chrome and Mozilla browsers will allow you to bookmark the page. The combination "Cmd" plus "space" will change the keyboard layout on Macintosh. And you can copy the selected text using the key combination “Cmd” plus M.

Greetings to new computer users. How to open the command line - every PC user has to face this question one day. The Command Prompt is included with the Windows OS. This is a software shell that allows you to give commands to the computer in text form and control it.

The console has remained part of the PC OS since the days when there was no graphical interface. For what? What's the use of it?

Interaction between the user and the operating system takes place through the console, when the standard Windows graphical interface and other utilities are unavailable due to a failure. Commands are entered into the command line when the device is infected with viruses, system files crash, or when restoring Windows.
