Renaming a file in workspaces

I want to copy the contents of my shopping_list_3.py into a new file called shopping_list_4.py, just like the instructor does in the video. How do I accomplish this? I can make a new file called shoppint_list_4, but I don't seem to have cut and paste functionality. I also can't duplicate or rename shopping_list_3.py. How do you make the new file containing the previous code?

After you highlight what you want to copy you can press CTRL+C to copy it then CTRL+V to paste into a new file.

That did the trick, thanks! How do I delete files from my workspace that I no longer want?

You should be able to right-click the file in question on the left hand side of the screen and choose delete.
