It would appear that if you are in Braille Screen Insert, Braille Command Mode, hitting dots 2,3,5,6 will select all. I just tried it and it worked.
When you describe selecting by holding one finger down and swiping with another finger, are you in Braille Entry Mode, or Braille command Mode, or are you doing this with the regular text selection on the rotor?

After selecting, and entering Command Mode. To copy I use dots 1 and 4 together and I hear "copy" not the letter "c" To cut and paste type the letters "x" and "v" -- like in Windows. I would like a command to select all. Peter On 8/12/2026 6:39 PM, Lyne wrote: Hello Richard, If you use command with three finger right you will be able to select all with dots 2,3,5, and 6.

I looked it up and it said hold one finger down and swipe with another … but I get no feedback and have no way to know if that is selecting anything. Could someone give more specific steps?

Voice Over is now saying charge port to the left. By changing the phone hold position, my calibration is good. While editing text, how to paste in the two modes. Command Mode I know the dot configurations for selecting the previous/next text and copy. While in Braille Entry, I prefer to use the following finger gestures: With 1 finger down, use another finger to swipe up/down to highlight one of the 3 items: character, word or line With the stationary finger down, do can either do A single finger swipe left/right to move to the previous/next item Or a 2 finger swipe left/right to select the item Lift the stationary finger, swipe a single finger left/right to delete the selection Is there a way to copy & paste, using this method? In Command Mode, what are the dots to cut and paste? Peter T. -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
