      Hi,

      I was looking though this

      Re: OSK Enhancements Proposals

      and I was wondering if anyone is working on text selection where you can drag and select some amount of text that you want like you would in tedit app, except for various other apps like in the Morph browser. It would be a handy tool especially when you need to copy code. But maybe I missed something on that page.

      BTW, it doesn't seem to work that well in the Demo browser, unless it's just me.

        @budrz Do you mean like when you tap and hold down on spacebar?

          See https://github.com/ubports/morph-browser/issues/21

          And at the end

          So, if all things go well, it should work in morph-browser for OTA-13 or before in a dev or rc update.

            @Loops said in Text selection in different apps:

            Do you mean like when you tap and hold down on spacebar?

            I mean when you tap and hold and have the ability to drag the edge like

            this example

            that was posted on Stack Overflow.

                Hi, @Loops refered to a feature already present.
                Tap and hold the space bar, now this interface allows you to move the cursor and make precise selection.

                  @AppLee Yeah that's for text fields but I think he's talking more about display-only texts such as in the browser.
                  BTW, in OTA-12, swiping from the bottom would be the easier way to do it 😃

                    @kugiigi yeah that's what I'm referring to. I couldn't think of the phrase.
