is there a way to copy and paste?

It might seem pointless, but you need to actually type the listings for this information to be retained. In an ideal situation you would write your own notes long hand re-contextualizing the information to let you retain the information. This is a basic study skill.
You can't just copy and paste information and expect to retain it in any kind of meaningful way.
Think about how type-in magazines evolved. They started off being very simple basic listings but fast forward a few years and its pages of hex/basic hybrids.
Do you think that the readers would have progressed to that level with passively copying and pasting the information?
No they grew through active learning.
When you think about it - all these tasks that people do. They in themselves in most cases are of very little value except what they can teach you. So when you choose to make your own applications/games you can apply the information that you learned.
So if you short change yourself in this stage - it impacts everything that comes after.
It's my theory that this is why the understanding that the majority of programmers has gone down instead of up.
Lol I get the feeling you are thinking that not copy pasting everything is some sort of flat earth theory. Look its not just me, google Leerteorie/Learning theory if you want to look it up.
A bunch of different theories exist but for the most part the modern ones agree on the basics (that active learning is better than passive).
I don't know how badly education has declined in the last 20 odd years but I can't believe that people are just copy/pasting from wikipedia/W3 school to graduate.
