If you do a lot of editing text on iPhone or iPad, iOS 13 has a great feature:
Custom VoiceOver commands can save time and effort!
Go to Settings, Accessibility, VoiceOver, Commands, Touch Gestures and assign
gestures to suit you. For me, what works well is:
Next rotor item two finger swipe
Move your cursor to the beginning of what you want to copy, then flick the
rotor to text selection, I suggest flicking down to set text selection to
words, then flick right until you copied all the text you want. Now turn the
rotor to Edit (most likely turning counter clockwise gets you there
