How do you cut and paste with the vega

[Guest gedt]

I had mine for about a week now and I'm stumped. is it possible to cut and paste at all

[Guest IanTurner]

Press your finger in the relevant area until a menu pops up offering such options as select and select all

[Guest Pepecillo]

Or ......... install an app like Clipper for clipboard copy/paste

it's not helped me i'm afraid. holding my finger down on the screen produces nothing, installing clipper doesn't help.

any other ideas?

You can only copy and paste text in text boxes not just random screen areas, is that what you are doing? If not be more specific when it doesn't work, what rom you are on etc

normally I'm wanting to copy text from webpages, emails... that sort of thing.

that's a pity.

r8 if it makes any difference now.

selecting text works in this field no problem.

Hi Premieral. Sorry to contradict, but many apps (but by no means all) do enable copy from any text, not just text boxes. Just long press and choose "Select text". Then click again and use the selector handles to highlight the text then release. A context menu pops up for "share, copy" etc. Try it in Dolphin

Some apps, e.g. GMail, put Select Text on the app menu.

Finally, a stop gap measure is to use the apps Share menu, assuming it has one, to share text with a text editor or something like EverNote from where it can be selected.

I would also encourage gedt to consider why copy/paste is useful. Very often, I find the Share menu a lot more useful.

I hadn't considered share. Didnt even know it existed. I do now. Thanks
