I’ve seen in many occasions students that are fixing a small typing error by deleting the whole cell content, and writing it all back again (hopefully without an error this time). There is no need for that, correcting text within cells is easy, whether by double clicking or correcting in the formula bar, as seen in the video.

The known “Cut”, “Copy” and “Paste” from the context menu are available too, although when dealing with small ranges, it might be easier to accomplish these actions manually with the mouse.
