This is got a be one of the most or the most silly question in all stack overflow! But how do you copy/paste a cell in a COLABORATORY notebook? There is a "copy cell" option, but not "paste cell" option. Whenever I try to paste there's this pop message "Use cmd +V to paste", but there is no paste at all!. In Jupyter is just "c" to copy and "v" to paste! This is one of the reasons I do not use COLAB at all. Thanks for your time!

Google Collab only allows pasting of plain text. Paste it into your browser url box to convert to plain text. Copy from the url box. Paste into Google collab.
You can add new cells by using the + CODE and + TEXT buttons that show when you hover between cells. These buttons are also in the toolbar above the notebook where they can be used to add a cell below the currently selected cell. You can move a cell by selecting it and clicking Cell Up or Cell Down in the top toolbar.
It would look like this: {(row,col):(new_row, new_col), ...} To copy the cells in an existing workbook, you can use xlutils. copy. copy() to copy the existing workbook and put it in a xlwt.
Actually ctrl + V works for pasting on Google Colab in 2021 if you are using Chrome or Edge. Is there any way to do without mouse...? The workaround is to change your Colab Keyboard shortcuts by "Copy cell or selection" to Cmd/Ctrl+M C (press Cmd/Ctrl+M then C) Then you can press Cmd/Ctrl+M then C, X, or D to copy, cut, or delete a cell.

Tried to use iPadOS 13 gestures/customise new shortcuts to copy selected codes in Colab cell, but system shows ‘Nothing to copy’. Probably something goes wrong with the javascript/css that iPadOS cannot recognise the selected contents in Colab, but working great on other web applications.
To use the inline code, you can use the backticks (``). Surround it with backticks as shown above. This is used when you write huge lines of codes inside Google Colab’s text editor. Sometimes including huge python code snippets is not a good idea using inline codes, use syntax highlight in this case.

For Copying I use the Edit menu:
Alternatively you can use the context menu for copying:

Cmd/Ctrl+M C (press Cmd/Ctrl+M then C)Cmd/Ctrl+M X
Cmd/Ctrl+M D
Then you can press Cmd/Ctrl+M then C, X, or D to copy, cut, or delete a cell. This is not as good as the original jupyter notebook method but at least you can do it with just keyboard.
