If you use the rotor after adding Text Selection to the rotor, it is quite doable, though maybe a bit tedious. Text Selection is not on the rotor by default so you have to go and add it. IN brief, the way it works is to first get to the beginning of the text you wish to copy, turn the rotor to Text Selection. Now, flick up or down with one finger through the options, character, word, line, page, select all. When you get to the one you want, flick right and that amount of text will be selected. Keep flicking until all is selected. Then, turn the rotor to edit, and flick up or down to copy and double tap.
Then, go where you want to paste and turn to edit and flick up or down to paste and double tap. You can also define custom gestures under VoiceOver settings, commands. I set a two finger flick right to paste and a two finger flick left to copy. So, once the selection is done I don’t have to use the edit on the rotor.

Just say for instance, I see a little saying that I enjoy posted on facebook. I can not find a way to copy and paste that text unless I do the quadruple 3 finger tap. I do not find any way to select the particular text. I hardly use my windows computer at all any more, so please correct me if I'm wrong, but, it seems like you were able to select and copy any text you wanted. I just tried setting the 2 finger gestures that Allen was talking about, but, still can't get anything to work.

If you go to Settings, Accessibility, Voiceover, Commands, All commands, Editing, and Copy, a predefined gesture of three finger double tap, hold, and flick up is listed. However, when I start typing a text message and select all of it and try this gesture, nothing is copied. Is this gesture working for anyone? I'm wondering why it's listed here if it doesn't work. I created my own copy gesture on this screen of a two finger swipe left as described by Richard Turner and it works just fine. Thanks in advance for letting me know if this gesture works for you and if so, the trick for making it do so.
