# How Do I: Use Cut/Copy/Paste Shortcuts?

The cut, copy, and paste shortcuts are:

- Ctrl+X—If you select an item and then enter Ctrl+X (or select Cut from a right-click or the Edit menu), the item you selected is copied to the clipboard and removed from its original place. If your item is a process node, you can paste it elsewhere within the current business process, or another business process. If you selected text, you can paste this text elsewhere within the WebLogic Workshop or any other application.

Warning: When you choose to cut a process node, all non-referenced associated process language and methods are removed as well. If a method is referenced by more than one node, the method will stay in the source code in its original location until all nodes that reference it are deleted. Also, if you have modified the node in the Source View, the node will remain in the source code in its original location.

- Ctrl+C—If you select an item and then enter Ctrl+C (or select Copy from a right-click or the Edit menu), the item you selected is copied to the clipboard. If your item is a process node, you can paste it in another location within the current business process, or another business process. If you selected text, you can paste this text elsewhere within the WebLogic Workshop or any other application.
- Ctrl+V—If you have previously copied something to the clipboard, either by using a cut or copy command, you can paste the contents of the clipboard elsewhere in the WebLogic Workshop application or any other application (if the clipboard contains text only). To paste an item, click the location where you want to paste the item, then enter Ctrl+V. To paste into a group, you must first expand the group. The new node will be pasted in the beginning of the block. To move it, simply drag it to the location you want.

Note: When you paste a Client Request, Client Response, or Process node after copying it to the clipboard, the new node and the corresponding methods will be duplicated and have a number appended to their names. If you want two nodes to reference the same method, you can explicitly specify the method name in the node builder.
