Using Swiftkey keyboard. Trying to cut and paste a link but it will not allow me to paste the entry. I can type into it normally but long press does nothing for getting a "paste" option. Any suggestions?
What are you trying to copy/paste from/to? I have the same configuration, and have not seen an issue pasting a link into Chrome, for example.

Maybe finger trouble on my part.
I have tried to move 100+ files from one directory to another using Cut&Paste.
The destination directory has 200+ files, so Explorer window shows the destination directory window full of files. I cant find a location on the screen where the stylus will bring up a Paste prompt.
If the destination directory only has a few files, ie -10, then there is white empty space to bring up the Paste option.
Any suggestions ?
Click on the bottom right corner where it says "menu". Then click "edit" and then "paste".
Many thanks Orelsi.
Sorted.

Is there any way to access the clipboard contents from a Terminal? I can't find any file where the copied text is stored, I suppose the phone may just store it in memory?
I had a workaround for this on my iPhone. The iPhone stored it in a file with a bunch of nonprinting characters so, rather than decipher that, I found a multi-clipbard app which stored the contents in plain text and I wrote a script to extract it from that file. I've looked for a similar app for Android and have found a couple, but they store the copied text in sqlite databases and I haven't had any luck getting it out.
So, is there any method to access the clipboard from a terminal, or any way to find it somewhere as plain text?
Ok, I spent some time downloading clipboard apps until I found one to use as a workaround. It's called Clipstore by benishouga and it stores the clipboard contents in a plain text file at /data/data/jp.benishouga.clipstore/files/clip.txt.
It is meant to keep a clipboard history of multiple items and it stores every entry on a single line. It replaces newlines with a "n" tag so even if you have 20 clipboard history items consisting of multiple lines, the most recent will always be on top and it will all be on a single line. So the paste command can simply be:
Code:
sed 's/<n>/\n/g;q' /data/data/jp.benishouga.clipstore/files/clip.txt
Example: I copied this text from a note app
Second test start
Blah blah
Second test end
It appears like this in /data/data/jp.benishouga.clipstore/files/clip.txt
Code:
Second test start<n>Blah blah<n>Second test end
In a terminal:
Code:
bash-4.1# cat /system/bin/clip
#! /system/bin/sh
sed 's/<n>/\n/g;q' /data/data/jp.benishouga.clipstore/files/clip.txt
bash-4.1# clip
Second test start
Blah blah
Second test end
bash-4.1#
Yay!
Is there a way to improve the highlighting of text and copy and paste ?
When I place a finger over text I just typed, I get an annoying pop-up and can't do anything intuitively.
Is there a way to make typing text on the Galaxy S as smooth as an iphone ?
(Using official Froyo on O2 UK)
really, no-one knows a more useful copy & paste method ?
Hi all, i have a question with the battery calibration app step..
2. Navigate to sys>devices>platform>ds2784-battery>setreg>long press>open in text editor, then:
a. set your aEvolts to 3201 (type 0x66 a4 in setreg & save/exit)
i have no problem finding the file but when i go to it and long press how do i open in text editor.. i tried a few different text editor apps and it didnt seem to help i get an error.. thnx
i got the file to open with quick office but it seems blank.. is it supposed to be?
im 90% sure its not supposed to be blank im having the same problem. Ive tried to open the file with 2 text editing programs and its still blank so idk what to do from there.
It's supposed to be blank. You enter the register data into the blank file and save it, and that sends the command to the battery.
Root explorer is what I use, long press, open in text editor.
But we are working on updating the app with setreg so you can just do it easier from the app rather than needing to use setreg. Coming soon.
i can't find the path:
Navigate to sys>devices>platform>ds2784-battery>setreg
i'm using and explorer
you must be running one of the supported kernels to see the file in ds2784. cyan, pershoot, etc. which kernel are you running?
Hey, all work for me now. I'm now in the Tread from you signature active.
Tanks
Anyone know why the Note 8 can't do this? This is the 1st phone I've had in years that had this limitation. To be clear I mean I have a word that is linked to a URL and when I copy and then paste a sentence with that word the link disappears.
When I hold the word, I can copy the link. But not the hyperlinked word, which I assume is what you want to do. Do other phones do this?
I have a bunch of templates that include words with links that I keep in Evernote. On all my other phones when I copy a sentence that includes a word with a link and paste it in to an email the sentence keeps the link, the note 8 will paste but the link is gone.
Does this work for action memo when one uses the S Pen to loop around an image or weblink, but the receiving party doesn't get a clickable item to open. Merely just an image.
