Re: How to delete large chunks of text?

2022-01-19 Thread Dave Clement 
Hi, 

You can do this using the Voiceover "text select" feature. Try this when you 
are in your edit field:

1.Position the edit cursor at the beginning of the text you want to delete.

2.Turn the rotor to "text select". 
Note that you must first add Text Select to your rotor in
Settings/Accessibility/Voiceover/Rotor

3.Flick down to choose the amount of text you want to select, character, word, 
line, etc. For your purpose, choose "word".

4.Now flick right to select that amount of text. In your case, a word.

5.Continue to flick right to select all the words you want to delete.
Note that you need to select (highlight) text to do a bulk delete.

6.If needed, flick left to unselect a word.

7.Once all the desired text is selected, move the rotor away from the text 
select option.

9.Tap the delete key on the on-screen keyboard.

10.If you made a mistake, you can always use the "undo" option in the "edit" 
rotor option to bring back the text you just deleted. 

This sounds complicated but it actually goes quite easily once you are used to 
the process. 

I hope this helps.

Hi,

I see is “select” and “select all.” I tried double tapping on “select” thinking 
it might bring up a menu for selecting words or lines, but no go. So am I 
missing anything if I just want to delete a few words.

This wouldn't work for deleting, but for opening context menus and such, you 
can also do a triple-tap.

Sieghard,
I will also try the double tap and hold.  I definitely miss 3 d touch.  I used 
it for a lot.  Even the app switcher could be activated by a harder press on 
the left edge of the phone.  Granted, you now only have to swipe up to the 
second haptic so that is good now too.

Sometimes you have to delete the first few letters one by one, but usually once 
 you do then doing a double tap and hold on the delete button will work.
This, by the way, has nothing to do with 3D Touch, that was when you pressed 
harder on a button to generate different responses and it's been replaced by 
double tap and hold for the most part.
Another approach is to turn the rotor to Text Selection, then swipe down and 
make sure it's set to words and then, if you are at the end of a block of text, 
swipe right to left to select the text you want to delete word by word, when 
you are done tap delete. If you want to delete all that is there use Select All 
and then delete.

  Hello Ms. Malmquist et al,


  If you want to delete the entire composition there are two procedures you 
can use, both imply that you have “Edit” and “Text Selection” deployed in 
your Rotor settings.


  To remove the entire current composition do this:


  - Deploy the Rotor with the 2-finger turn.
  - Continue this “turning” gesture until you come to the “Edit” action.
  - Using the single finger swipe, locate and double tap the “Select All” 
option.
  - Now, tapping the “Delete” button will remove everything.


  To select and delete only  portions of a composition do this:


  - Position cursor where you want to start the text selection.
  - Deploy the Rotor once again, locating the “Select Text” option.
  - Once you’ve located the “Select Text” option do not double tap here, 
this will likely result in selectig the “Character” option!

  - Now using the single finger swipe down (or up), select whether you want 
character, word, line or page selection option.
  - Now, using the single finger swipe (left selects elements back) or right 
(selects elements forward) until all of the text you want to delete is 
selected.
  - Now, tapping the “Delete” keyboard will rid you of those selected 
elements.


  A note here concerning the “Page” option.  Depending on where you have 
positioned the cursor, swiping left will select all text before that 
position and swiping right will select all text beyond the cursor.

RE: How to delete large chunks of text?

2022-01-18 Thread Sieghard Weitzel 
Hi Anna,

I find that there are situations where this doesn't work or at least not until 
you start deleting a few characters first one by one. I just ran across this 
when I had to enter my Microsoft Id password in the Settings app, I had pasted 
in something and it seemed wrong because instead of 16 characters Voiceover 
indicated it was 17 so I wanted to delete all and doing a double tap and hold 
did nothing and I had to delete all characters one by one. In text messages I 
sometimes have to delete a couple of characters one by one and then if I do 
double tap and hold it will work.

Hi Kay,

You can also touch the Delete key, then do a double-tap and hold. Just like 
with 3D Touch, text will continue to be deleted as long as you hold your finger 
on the screen.

Best,
Anna

Hello Ms. Malmquist et al,

If you want to delete the entire composition there are two procedures you can 
use, both imply that you have “Edit” and “Text Selection” deployed in your 
Rotor settings.

To remove the entire current composition do this:

- Deploy the Rotor with the 2-finger turn.
- Continue this “turning” gesture until you come to the “Edit” action.
- Using the single finger swipe, locate and double tap the “Select All” option.
- Now, tapping the “Delete” button will remove everything.

To select and delete only  portions of a composition do this:

- Position cursor where you want to start the text selection.
- Deploy the Rotor once again, locating the “Select Text” option.
- Once you’ve located the “Select Text” option do not double tap here, this 
will likely result in selectig the “Character” option!
- Now using the single finger swipe down (or up), select whether you want

RE: How to delete large chunks of text?

2022-01-18 Thread Sieghard Weitzel 
Sometimes you have to delete the first few letters one by one, but usually once 
 you do then doing a double tap and hold on the delete button will work.
This, by the way, has nothing to do with 3D Touch, that was when you pressed 
harder on a button to generate different responses and it's been replaced by 
double tap and hold for the most part.
Another approach is to turn the rotor to Text Selection, then swipe down and 
make sure it's set to words and then, if you are at the end of a block of text, 
swipe right to left to select the text you want to delete word by word, when 
you are done tap delete. If you want to delete all that is there use Select All 
and then delete.

- Using the single finger swipe, locate and double tap the “Select All” option.
- Now, tapping the “Delete” button will remove everything.
