Thanks, Mary. I must have dreamed that you could do a single finger double tap 
and hold to bring up a floating sidebar menu that would allow you to copy 
selected text. If I've ever gotten such a thing to work, it's not working 
anymore so I'll stick to the rotor edit option.

Hi Alan,
If I understand you correctly, you will need to use the rotor, but it's not 
that far to go to the edit setting, where you can flick to find copy if it 
isn't already selected choice. Double tap and you're good to go.

Hello List,

 

I know we've seen improvements in selecting text on our iPhones with the 
introduction of the Text Selection rotor item a couple of versions back. 
However, I still have trouble after I've selected the text with copying and 
pasting it to the desired location. What is the easiest next step after the 
text is highlighted to copy it? I thought a shortcut gesture existed that would 
bring up a copy option so I wouldn't have to rotor to the edit option and get 
copy from it but I'm not having any luck finding it.

 

Any help that can be suggested will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
