The keyboard shortcut "Cmd + V" is commonly used on Apple computers to paste copied content. When you select text, images, or files and use "Cmd + C" to copy them, "Cmd + V" allows you to insert that content into a new location, such as a document or an email. This shortcut is part of a series of commands that enhance productivity. The "Cmd" key, also known as the Command key, is unique to Apple devices, while "V" represents the action of pasting. This functionality is similar to "Ctrl + V" on Windows systems.
