@vitaminj: As you might rightfully guess - I am just looking at "copy and paste" from a user's perspective, without looking what is behind the UI. And I indeed see your point. On the other hand: why wouldn't you allow to mark and copy each sort of string that is visible to a user - even the battery percentage? At least, that would be something I would call system-wide copy (not paste).

So maybe it is more about the copy-part than aboout the paste-part. Pasting should indeed only be allowed in those fields that are provided therefore - as it is right now.

Another issue is off course the way you copy without keyboard and ctrl-c (as, for instance, with the N900) because you might want to reseerve the long-click for other Events than copying.

And just as a side-question: what is a celebutroll? I guess I am supposed to be one, but I have no clue what it means. Plus: trolling is not my Intention, so please apologize if I made the wrong impr4ession.
