Let me see if I can try to translate.
Firstly you have to open a new tab (window) on the site you want to link to and copy the address from
the address bar.
Copy this by pressing the keys Ctrl and C at the same time.
With you so far

I am assuming that MAJ is the French equivalent of "Shift" (A hangover from typewriters when the shift
key really did shift the innards where the little levers with the type were.)

All that is left to do is to paste the previously copied address (where you pressed the Ctrl and C keys at
the same time) by pressing the keys Ctrl and V at the same time.
Easy, isn't it.
I'd have liked to show the mouse on the link icon, but unfortunately, my screenshot program "helpfully"
removed the mouse pointer from the screen picture.
Thanks for your comments -- I'll try to see if I can incorporate them in the original post to make it
more useful.
