Hi, the ctrl button on my keyboard doesn't work, when I try to use right-click copy and paste, icloud pages and numbers comes up with this helpful little box to teach me how to use keyboard shortcuts, but won't actually let me copy and paste.
Does anyone know how to fix it, so it'll do what I'm actually telling it to do, instead of trying to just tech me how to use a computer?
cheers

Hi job120,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities. If you need help with making adjustments to your Mac trackpad or Magic Mouse, there are some guides that can help. The Secondary click on either device can mimic the options of a right-click on a Mac and provide the copy/paste choices you are looking for.
To adjust the settings for a Secondary click on a Mac with a trackpad, look at this guide here:
Change Trackpad preferences on Mac
You will want to use the Secondary click option in that list.
For a Magic Mouse, use the guide here also for a Secondary click:
Change mouse tracking, double-click, and scrolling speed on Mac
Take care.

Thanks for clarifying jop120.
There is not a way to right-click in order to copy or paste while using Pages in iCloud. You do have to use the shortcuts available. Apple has a great feedback form for users to submit suggestions like this.
Apple Feedback - Pages for iCloud
Have a good day.
Hi, thanks for the reply, but that's not what I'm asking. I know how to setup a mouse and trackpad. The issue is with the iCloud version of iWork. It won't let me use right-click Copy & Paste. It just comes up with a window telling me how to use keyboard shortcuts, it won't actually copy and paste this way, even though it's an option on the right-click menu. Give it a try and you'll see what I mean.
It's the same whether you're using iCloud iWork on a Mac or on a PC.
