How copy and paste on Android?

When I reviewed various sites it is often necessary to copy text from a web page or paste text elsewhere on the phone (for example, a password manager application) into a form on a web page. When you use the stock Android browser, this is usually accomplished by a long click on the text or shape. However, when you use Firefox, it doesn't matter. So I would like to know how, when using Firefox on Android, I can copy and paste text. Please keep in mind that the phone that I use - HTC Evo - is a touchscreen device and that there is no physical keyboard.

Thanks for any help.

We have recently added the ability to copy and paste into web forms: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=611741

This change will be included in the next update which we communicated through the Android Market, or you can test it now in our nightly builds.

  • Lightroom Mobile (Android) - cannot copy and paste settings

    I recently started using Lightroom Mobile on my Android phone, and I find it very useful.

    I found the menu that appears if you press on a picture - it was 'copy settings... ". "and"Paste Settings... ". "as an option, but these are still grayed out.

    Mohit answer lead me to take another look, and I worked it out.

    When you first go in an image and try the long support, the menu with copy / paste grayed out:

    Somehow (I don't know the internal mechanism) parameters are not "active" for this image. What you have to do is click on the cursors icon (). The settings opens, but themselves are grayed out initially. They come to live in a few seconds.

    Once these parameters are under tension, the copy and paste menu items come live in the menu press and hold:

  • How can I copy and paste from Google "Keep"? Every time I try, the copied text is not copied to the Clipboard in Firefox, it allows to copy my clipboard 'by default'.

    I can't get the Firefox Clipboard appears when I try to copy the Dungeon of Google. Please help, thanks.

    Hi again LvScience:

    (tips from jsoulless40 (thanks js40!) to try the site office in Firefox when using the web application in Dungeon is very good, but I think you are using the right to keep the App, not web app version right?)

  • How to copy and paste a blog to send in an email?

    Never have copy pasted something on Mozilla Firefox (or any other site) I'm completely ignorant of how to do it!
    Somebody directed me to his blog and suggested I send a large part of the content to a third party by using the "copy and paste". How can I do this? Please keep the simple instructions that my basic knowledge is really basic. Thank you.

    Generally, you use the mouse to select text, first of all, as you would in any other application. (To select the entire contents of a page, you can press Ctrl + a, but which would include an extra material of the headers and footer sidebars, so probably not useful on a ticket of a blog.)

    Once you have selected what you want to copy, and then copy it by using one of these common methods of Windows:

    CTRL + c

    Right click > copy

    Edit > copy

    To paste into your email, once you have clicked where you want in the message, the same approach should work in most Windows programs:

    CTRL + v

    Right click > paste

    Edit menu > paste

    (Some programs may also have an icon on the toolbar to paste.)

    Now... some potential problems.

    First of all, when you select a web page, highlighting that indicates the selection can pull in sidebars or can jump a few images, etc. It all depends on how the web page was built. It might take a couple of copy and paste to isolate only the part that you care without picking up a bunch of junk.

    Second, web pages can include scripts and plugin content like Flash animations that are not allowed by some e-mail programs. For example, in Microsoft Outlook, these elements can generate a security warning. Then you have to work around those if you see in your selection.

    Finally, some people have added a script to their page that appears when you right-click and notifies you that it is copyrighted. In this case, use one of the other methods for copy.

    Does it work?

  • HP Jet 11-D007NA: How do I copy and paste in Windows 10 with left and right keys

    Hi Everyone,                                                                                                                27/08/15

    I know the c control and control functions v for copy and paste with Excel and Word. How do cut you, copy, and move entire folders when you are working in Windows 10? 2 tapping fingers at the same time used to work in point 8.1 of Windows but does not work in Windows 10. I want to move my documents together and download files from my drive c on a memory stick that I have only 32 GB SSD in my book and it is fill up very quickly. I don't want to lose days copy individual files and sticking them in the memory stick. That would be a common mistake. I don't understand why HP had to remove the left and right buttons and make life very difficult for its customers. They probably saved a couple of hundred by getting rid of the buttons in their calculation of costs, but made it impossible for customers to use the laptop in a productive way.

    Have you tried pressing the right and left of the touchpad corners? Most of the models without physical buttons have this function.

    I guess that you are talking about the tool captures.

    Open the capture tool , and then select Options.

    Place a check mark to always copy shears in the Clipboard.

    Click OK.

    Click new, select the part of the screen that you want to cut out. When you release the mouse button, the selected area will be copied to the Clipboard.

    Open a program that can display images (Paint, Wordpad, MS Word, etc.).

    Right click in the program and select Paste.

    The area of the screen that you snipped will be pasted into the program.
