This is not a bug. This is the designed behavior, I know 🤦🏻‍♂️

Same with the long press, locks items to suggestion view, doesn't repeat.

But it doesn't even do anything when I first installed it it did something now it will never select a word or anything

It should select the word IF the cursor is on the word but that's all it does. Does seem like your install has some issues — clear data or re-install is my goto solution. And if they come back or persist let the devs know.

I mess worth the keyboard A LOT! 😂🤣 and I haven't run into you're specific issues. Maybe the device type? 🤷🏻‍♂️

@Frozen-Fang did you test Select Word in multiple apps? Did you notice if it was only broken on specific apps or all apps?

@Helium314 I did some testing and noticed that Select Word is broken specifically on Firefox Android.

I'm not sure if it's something you can fix or if it's a Firefox problem.

For example, if you open this page on Firefox and try to select words it won't work. However, word selection does work in the URL bar for some reason. I think that any text inside a webpage can't function with word select but if the text field is part of Firefox's UI and not the webpage it will work.

As an additional note, Select All has no issues, only Select Word is broken.

If you want this to be moved into a separate new issue, just say so.

@sudoshindo doesn't work in a basic text editor either was using quickedit+ to test just doesn't work

I tried Squircle Code Editor. It works inconsistently. It selects words that are purely letters. It doesn't select words that are purely numbers (does nothing, no feedback). In an alphanumeric string, for example 12abc34, it will only select abc (if you put the cursor somewhere on abc).
