Paste Keyboard Shortcut Mac

I am running the same task over and over and over again (and I want to simplify this task). Basically, I want to paste a text fragment into a document (a piece of HTML code). I'm doing it over and over again, and I would like to designate a keyboard shortcut to perform this function.
Can I do this with Keyboard shortcuts (it looks like I can't). Do I need to write a script, and activate the script with a keyboard shortcut? Please .. I've searched database and web, and nobody seems to want to do this, or describe how it can be done. I think it would be amazingly useful for those of us who find ourselves typing the same text string over, and over, and over, and over, and over and over again.
Many thanks in advance.

Copy And Paste Shortcut Windows

Let's review how to copy on a Mac, and how to paste on a Mac. This will utilize the command key and both the C and V keys just like Windows. The command key is always located next to the spacebar on any Apple or Mac keyboard, it usually says 'command' on it but sometimes is only identified by the command symbol. I'm sure most Mac users know Command-C means copy and Command-V means paste, but there's a host of other useful shortcuts that make a Mac user's life much easier. I've assembled this short.

If you have your Keyboard Viewer turned on so you can see the effect of using
the keys as you type them, you may be able to tell if the keyboard is defective.
A spare keyboard and mouse are among important extras to have on hand.
Especially if you happen to live in a location where replacements don't exist.
Is there something stuck under one of the keys, and stopping their function?
You may be able to remove a key-cap to clean the area; and hope it works.
Not sure what kind of 'reset' may help a keyboard see only a few keys that do
not appear to be functioning; however you may be able to determine if that
keyboard is defective or not, in a matter of trial & error by trying the Keyboard
Viewer. If you do not have it set up on the menu bar for easy access, you can
set it up by going to System Preferences > International > Input Menu, and be
sure your preferences are selected; and choose to have Input menu appear
on the top right side of the desktop by the clock.
There is a way to use a Win/PC keyboard in place of a Mac keyboard, but there
are some keys that are incorrect or in the wrong places; so remapping them is
one of the ways to still use a Mac if you happen to be without an Apple keyboard.
(Some Mac users running Windows via BootCamp have both keyboards.)
Anyway, I'm not sure if some system problem may be the cause of the keyboard
not working correctly; or if the keyboard has some defective keys acting up. Some
of the system resets probably will have no effect on the keyboard input to a Mac.
Resetting PRAM/NVRAM? Reset PMU/SMC, etc? SafeBoot & repair permissions?
These are unlikely; out of desperation, something may scare the gremlins out of it.
But nothing will reset wear and age if the computer's keyboard is wearing out.
Perhaps someone else will have ideas to get around this issue; short of an attempt
to set different keys on the keyboard to perform the missing functions of others..
In lieu of a known-good USB keyboard to try instead of the one you have now.
Good luck & happy computing! 🙂
