I just right-clicked and copied the above text from your post. Did you highlight the text you wanted to copy before trying the copy function?

it doesnt work for me although i was trying to copy weblink (in address bar)
Click to expand...

That just worked for me as well, so I'm not sure what you're doing wrong. I Ctrl+click (right-click) on selected text and then left-click on Copy. Heck, even right-clicking on Copy works, so I'm not sure what's going on for you.

copy/paste works
 
nor do i...

ive tried it few more times seems to only work 1/5 times 😕

maybe its a crap mightmouse thats what 1 week old???
 
When you right-click does a little menu come up but copy is not on the menu? If that doesn't happen then try lifting your finger completely off the left side of the mouse before right clicking.

Command c for copy
Command v for paste

If you switch from PC to Mac then Command = Ctrl for shortcuts. Some of them are the same, some are completely different.

You don't get this when you highlight and right-click?

If it's a weblink you can usually just drag and drop it our of the window it's in right to where you want to paste it...one more reason why OS X is awesome.
