It's the Braille Entry mode to use the stationary finger on one hand
and the other hand to swipe up/down or left/right.
In Command Mode:
to copy, cut and paste, type the letters "c", "x" or "v" --like in
Windows.
To select all, type the lower letter "g" -- like in Habal.
Editing in BSI is getting more useful...we're making headway.

It would appear that if you are in Braille Screen Insert, Braille

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?

Hello,
Some clarification.
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.

Hello Richard,
If you use command with three finger right you will be able to
select all with dots 2,3,5, and 6.
To copy use letter C dots 1 and 3.
Toothpaste use a letter Vdots 1,2,3 and 6.

I seem to have missed the earlier explanation of how to select
text to start with. 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?
Thanks,

It is the letter v in braille to paste when you are in command
mode.

Hello,
I now have BSI working again with the phone rotated 180dg,
landscape and screen away mode. 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?
