Control Key: You have two keys on your keyboard that have Ctrl. They are located on the bottom corners. Holding the control down and pushing the second key, you are able to perform many keyboard shortcuts.
Clipboard: This is the location their copies of items are put so they can be moved and put somewhere else.
Keyboard Short Cuts: Keyboard shortcuts were created to save time. They are tasks that are performed with the mouse and menu that also can be performed by holding the control button and hitting the second key.
Ctrl+X Think of the X as being a pair of scissors. You use this shortcut to cut things.

You also have your right mouse toolbox if you have a mouse.
Two fingers click the toolbox if you have a mouse pad
