Are you talking about trying to select and copy from the web page content or the address bar not working? What screen reader are you using when you are trying this?

The problem I've been having is with the 'Control A, control C and then Control V to paste it. Generally only one line may come, or else nothing. Sometimes the usual Windows commands work, but mostly not for this.

I've been using Chrome long enough that I don't really remember what was new or different about it. If you were a Firefox user, many of the commands are similar:
* ctrl+l to search or open a URL.
* ctrl+d to bookmark a page.
* Alt+f to get into the menu, which you can up/down-arrow through for more options.
* Alt+f, then B, then right-arrow once to get into your list of
bookmarks, which you can move to by arrowing or by using first-letter
navigation. The only bookmarks you can't jump to are the ones that start
with B.
A lot of standard browser commands work with Chrome, like ctrl+n for
opening a new page and F6 for jumping to the address bar.
Off hand, the only weirdness I can think of is that downloads don't
always start automatically. For example, when I want to read an Audible
book, I go to the Audible website and press enter on the Download link
in My Library; then I press F6 a couple of times to get into the Chrome
Downloads window, and I press enter on the link for the book, which may
be something like admhelper or may be a random string of characters.
Similarly, when I'm trying to download an installer, I click on whatever
download link, press F6 a couple of times to get to the download window,
then press enter on the *.exe link.
