try this, im not sure if allot of people know, but you can use the space bar on the keyboard as a "right click":

1. swipe from left to right just ask everyone has already noted
2. use your left thumb to hover like your mouse
3. use right your right thumb to click the space bar, and you can highlight/select things as you would on a computer.
4. then of course ctrl+C to copy, then paste

hope this answers your question and helps you
