Are you using a different keyboard than default? I don't see a paste button on mine. If it is an optional layout how do I get it? Thanks!

i don't use any special keyboard... when i copy some text from native notes app for example and then open an android translation app, the clipboard appears on top of the keyboard, see screens. and this works in every android app...

Colour me surprised! I'd have thought copying text from non-input fields would be a system feature. Perhaps they just have to make sure whatever selection gesture they use doesn't conflict with in-app gestures.

There is of course no copy gesture. Selections are automatically copied to the clipboard.
