Subject: Re: How to delete large chunks of text?
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.

Hi all,
I really miss 3 d touch. It used to be that if you had a bunch of text
like in a text message that you wanted to delete, you could just go to the
end of it and press on the delete button and it would rapidly delete all of
it.
