Great. You can also highlight tests in SMS by presing the shift key and moving the arrows.

What missing is the long press or hold pop up with copy and paste option. Otherwise it's great!

Also, if you drag your finger across the text, it will be highlighted w/out mouse. Then holding down on it, the option to copy is there. The mouse option is really cool, especially when using it on sites like speedtest.net, where a mouse is needed, unless you are running a speedtest java app.

yeah long press would be great, but hopefully will be implemented later on. the scrolling is a bit too loose atm. as when you try to get the mouse pointer out, you usually scroll the chat a bit, which can be annoying if you just scroll out of the part you wanted to copypaste, and you can't navigate with mouse mode on.

At least for me just dragging your finger doesn't highlight the text if not in mouse mode. But I just noticed (well i'm testing in gtalk environment, but should be the same?) that you don't even have to highlight the text to get it copied. If you press for couple seconds on a text, even with nothing being highlighted, it'll give you the option to copy it.
