Undo is kind of interesting because there's also a Redo command that's typically available. If I were to make a mistake, say delete everything, I would use Command Z rather than Control Z to undo. Likewise if I wanted to select All, instead of Control A it's Command A. If I wanted to cut it I would use Command X and then Command V to paste. So if I were to select some text here and want to Copy and Paste it I would use Command C and then Command V to paste. Most things use Command for the modifier. Control is kind of a secondary modifier key. So instead of control C for copy it's Command C.
