Default shortcut key for 'paste'?

Please Login to Remove!

sorry, I've tried searching but not found anything. Is there a shortcut key to paste text?

I've emailed a couple text ebooks to my phone but the obvious flaw is the inability to save your place. I figured I could copy the last sentence, save it under a "bookmark" in the memo pad and then copy that same sentence and use the FIND within the text attachment to recover my last spot. But while I can copy from the memo pad, I can't paste anything into the FIND field in the attachment, if I click on FIND, clicking the scroll bar or Enter again only exits out of the FIND popup, rather than pull up a menu giving a paste option. So is there a shortcut key to paste in the text, or do I just have to manually re-type whatever phrase is my bookmark?

thx!

There isn't a shortcut for cut, copy or paste as of yet. Would be a nice touch to upcoming OS releases though.

Default Copy/Paste

Holding ALT while clicking the track wheel will copy highlighted text. Holding NUM while clicking the trackwheel will paste.

I apologize, I have been misinformed from the start of my BB life. I was unaware of these shortcuts and was told that they weren't available. Very nice to know.

Thank you, HRom for correcting me.
