Copy posts but only what it's needed. #301

Hi,

Although you can copy the text of a post, it won't work if you only want to copy the same words or phrases of a post. I think it would be a nice detail, since non-english natives tend to copy and search words they don't know in dictionaries.

You can use double tap to select the text. Is it what you need?

darlopvil commented 3 years ago

It could do the trick, but it could be like this too: Long tap on the post> the word under your finger gets selected> Now you can freely select more words/what you need. I mean, it doesn't have to be a double tap but the idea would be this.

*can

Dashchan works like this for years. Have you tried it?

darlopvil commented 3 years ago

Double tap gives you all the text selected Manually, choose the word you're interested.

it's fine, but it would be faster and more practical to double tap on a word and have it already selected (instead of having all the text selected)

Double tap gives you all the text selected

It depends. It can either select the whole post or only a single paragraph depending on how you click. This use case is much more frequent than selecting a single word.

As you wish. If you want to leave what exists, i'll get used to it. If not, it would be appreciated.
