I really like the ability to gesture a circle on the copy key to select all, but I'd also like the ability to select some text without selecting all of it. This is useful if you want to copy, edit, or delete the text.
Describe your suggested feature
One way to implement this would be to tap on the copy key to start a selection. Then swipe on the spacebar to grow or shrink it.
Other details
In MessagEase, to delete more than one character, you hold down the backspace key for a while. That's less than ideal because it's slow and inaccurate.
