How to select an address to copy it ?
 
Hello,

I want to add some repositories as described in a web page; but I can't find a way of selecting the address and copy it so I can then go to the application manager and paste it.

In general, when I try to select some text, the default action is to scroll left or right. Makes sense but obviously not what I want ;)

Any idea to avoid a painful manual retyping ?

Xavier

To select text, you do a kind of Tap, then tap and drag. It'? a bid different from the pocket pc world but you get used to it pretty quick. After the text is selected, you can then tap and hold on the selected text and a popup will appear with options (cut, copy, etc).

Being new to this myself, I discovered by double tapping and highlighting an tap and hold thing this morning. You can also tap the buttom left button to paste.

Ok, I can double tap content to highlight single words but I can't get the tap plus drag to work in non text field areas.. Can someone explain it again? Thanks.

Selecting text has been drastically improved in the latest two firmware updates... Do you guys know if you've updated to the latest?

I´m only having problems trying to "copy (select)" sentences on web sites. Everything else is working OK.
