Select text and copy paste in RSS reader
 
I know how to copy-paste using the built-in browser. I wonder why I can't do it in RSS reader (I could on my N810, if I remember correctly)? This is an important feature that makes using Mstardict to read foreign language RSS feeds possible. I can tolerate manually inputting the search term, but how do you input German Umlaut or French diacritic marks, not to mention Japanese kanji?

hold down the shift key, while highlighting what you need

Looks like I was a little ahead of myself. Highlighting does work, but I am not sure about ctrl-c or ctrl-v. Does the actual copying/pasting need special tricks?

Hi
sorry about that totally forgot you asked about copy and paste aswell (Was studying at the same time while on this forum)

anyway, to answer your question

1. Highlight text
2.Long hold on it (touch screen) untill a menu pops out with refresh/sort
3.Do not select any of the options, let go
4.then just ctr+C and ctr+V
