While editing a confidential report in a spreadsheet, Jayne wants to move a selected block of text from one sheet to another, then immediately undo the move and instead duplicate the same block in a third sheet. If she uses only keyboard shortcuts involving Ctrl, Tab and the letters C, V, S, X, Z and F (and no mouse or menu), in what sequence must she apply these shortcuts to complete this task correctly without data loss?
First Ctrl+X, then Ctrl+V, next Ctrl+Z, and finally Ctrl+C followed by Ctrl+V
Moving a block means removing it from its original place, so the first shortcut must be Ctrl+X (Cut), which places the block on the clipboard.
She then switches to the target sheet and presses Ctrl+V (Paste) to complete the move.
To undo that move she presses Ctrl+Z (Undo), which returns the block to its original sheet with no data lost.
To duplicate the block in a third sheet she must copy rather than cut, so she uses Ctrl+C (Copy) on the restored block and then Ctrl+V (Paste) in the third sheet.
Ctrl+S only saves the file and Ctrl+F only opens Find, so neither moves or duplicates data; a sequence starting with Ctrl+V or Ctrl+C cannot produce a move first.
Hence, the answer is First Ctrl+X, then Ctrl+V, next Ctrl+Z, and finally Ctrl+C followed by Ctrl+V.
