hi,
am having trouble copy pasting text between programs (an rss reader and email for example) and was wondering if anyone had an idea why. the rss reader will let me copy the text but when i get to the email there is no option to paste.
thanks for your help
Touch the screen where you want to paste and hold until a menu pops-up with paste as an option.
it's a third party app but very good
download fingerkeyboard 2.1 from here on xda
it's a very nice keyboard in which you can assign things to.
if you press shift you have the option to undo/cut/copy/paste etc and it works everywhere youre allowed to bring up the keyboard
hope this helps

I a desktop PC you can go CTL C and CTL V to copy and paste, or CTL X to cut via the Windows clipboard.
Has this functionality been lost In WM5.
IF so is there a third party tool that can do this.
I so tired I typing the same text over and over again.

I had been there, but wasnt sure that this does the basic COPY and PASTE via a clipboard.
I see it does create CTL and ALT keys, but does it the clipboard function ?
You can use the keyboard shortcuts using the pop-up keyboard. Try it out in notes.

Yup. it enables copy, cut, paste, select all and it even has a historical clipboard so you can copy multiple text items and then paste them later. It does so much more though, it's an excellent task manager, program launcher, app closer, etc. I think it's one of the most useful apps, it really sets the user free of the stylus.
i just use the pop up keyboard for cut copy and paste.
Hi,
can anybody tell me how to copy and paste text in sms body?? I dont know why when I tap and hold the sms body textbox, the copy and paste options are always disabled... any ideas??
This really looks stupid behavior!!
Thanks alot
Mohammad
did you try to select some text you want to copy and then use the keyboard with <control> C and <control> V
just as you would do on a desktop
I cant find a <control> key on the wizard kb, so how to do it? thanx
CTRL is not on the text-board, but it is on your tap-keyboard.. push the words in on your touchscreen...
Be sure that after you've selected the text you want to copy, click and hold on the selection itself, not on a blank part of the screen. Then the copy function won't be greyed out.

I have tried it, it did not work!!! O also tried <control> +c, <control +v> and with no luck
I have imate ROM 2.21WWE
Any ideas?
In HTC home plug, I can set one of the soft buttons on the launcher to "launch programs folder". Is there a way to map this function to a hardkey? I don't want to download a third party launcher--I just want to be able to press a button and open the programs folder (and not in the file explorer view).
Any help would be wonderful.
Another folder in which I could put shortcuts in would also work. I just want the icons large and finger friendly like the programs folder.
Is it possible to use folderview.exe to do this?
Check here for the solution...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1644004&postcount=7
I used this to create a shortcut in each and every sub folder under Programs so once in a sub folder, I can easily go back to the Programs folder without having to close the window and open the Programs again from the HTC Home App.
I called the shortcut '!Back to Programs.lnk' so it appeard at the beginning of every folder and the shortcut is setup as follows...
Code:
53#\Windows\folderview.exe #?\Windows\shellres.dll,-8208
Copy the above into simple binary text editor and save to have your shortcut.
I guess you wouldn't need the '53#' and '?\Windows\shellres.dll,-8208' bits to link to hardkey. This is more to give the shortcut a nicer icon in the folder view.
Been looking for this. google search "launch programs folder" found this thread. Ought just be a 'icon view' option in file explorer dontcha think? Thanks!
Hmmm... it's not doing quite what I'm after...
As the FolderView is an application, when you click the X in the top right corner, it closes the window. If you were in the 'Start' => 'Programs' folder and were in a sub folder, pressing the OK button would simply return you to the previous folder.
I counter acted this by adding a shortcut to the FolderView app in every folder as mentioned above but for some reason this no longer works correctly. I think it has something to do with the HTC Task Manager I have upgraded to (v 2.0.30995). Works better than previous version but for this one thing, I think it's stopping multiple instances of the FolderView app.
So, this brings me to... How can you load the Programs Folder so you can go back from a sub folder?
Can anyone hack the FolderView app? A simple 'Up' button could be added to the lower left of the window, similar to the view of File Explorer. This way, the X can still be used to close the FolderView App and the 'Up' button takes you back up the Programs list.
In case your wondering, I have various apps loaded on my Pocket PC and have categorised them and placed into sub folders. I've then created an icon association to each folder so it looks a little more pleasent when viewing. However, I want to freely browse the folder. See attached Tumbnail...
the link works on sprint touch. I call it "_Up" so it always appears at first position.
I note that folderview when you close it doesn't appear in task menu like file explorer and most other app.
folderview with some options would be great because it's a fast finger friendly interface ... must faster and easier to configure than various cubes.
ps
I came across this in another thread. I haven't tried it yet but I'm gonna take a look when I get a chance.
Possibly it could be used to add some features to folderview:
http://www.angusj.com/resourcehacker/
I'm glad I stumbled across this thread because I think it's exactly what I want to do...I just need a little help as I'm not as savvy as some of you guys might be.
What I'm wanting to do is create sub directories in my programs folder like viglante_xix does (grouping Office, GPS Programs, Media Programs, etc.) and point to it as a shortcut in rlToday. I think I might have been able to figure this out on my own after tinkering, but I don't have the folderview.exe in my windows dir. Can someone send me a copy or know of an alternative?
Also, I'm not completely ignorant to programming; I know a little VB, Java, and C++. I understand how the code above works, but what program do I use to make this shortcut...preferably something free.
Thanks in advance.
Dear All
copy and paste option which normally activated when you hold your finger on a text and allow you to select all text and copy it then paste is suddenly disappeared in my HD2
is there any way to restore this function again other than hard reset
Rom 1.48
Thank you
what do you see after you hold your finger?
do you see a menu at all or don't you even get that?
can you give an example (application from where you want to copy)

Thank you very much donSjon for your reply
as example now when i hold my finger on a text of sms nothing happen
but before when i hold on sms there was a small menu giving me the option to select all text and copy it then i can paste it in another application like email
I'm also on rom 1.48, but never had this problem.
what were the latest apps you installed?
and before you do a hard reset, maybe also upgrade to rom1.66 at the same time ;-) (if it has been released for your language at least)
Hello guys,
I got my N4 today, very pleased.
I dont think there is a way to PASTE your smart clips. I see a way to share them and to add them to a scrapbook, but not paste.
I was sure I saw something like that in some demo?
The manual does not mention if/how that can be done,
Any success with that out there?

Hi
Thanks for the response, but there is no such option to Copy to Clipboard.
If there is no option search playstore ...there was an app that forced copy to clipboard to be an option...especially useful for YouTube.

Hi
yeah, I did that before I posted here.
The clipboard paste apps I found there are about COPYING multiple items to that clipboard, but which does not tie in with Smart Select - so you can't copy smart selected elements to those apps, only things which have the COPY contextual menu as an option, like when you select text and have a copy option.
Nothing I have found allows you to copy a "smart selection" set of items to the clipboard. In fact I don't know if this would make sense on an android system level... the "smart selection" may not use the android clipboard at all... so there may not be any solution unless Samsung makes it possible.

If you open a note and use the edit in s-note icon in the lower right-hand corner, you can just drag one or more items from the collection to the note.

Hi
Open a note?
What note?
I have some smart select items I want to paste into an email I am replying to.... and there is no "note" I am working on, and there is no icon anywhere to drag to that email I am replying to...
Seems this is how I would use it, and it does not work like that... you can create a new email but not add to a reply or add clips to an existing document.

If you don't want to save it to a note, but email instead, it still works the same. Save your selected item (s) to a collection using that little collections icon then open your new email message. If you have more than one item in the collection, tap on the down triangle at the bottom of the collection box, select the item you want to place in the email, and just drag it over. It will place the text in the spot you drag it to.
When you are done placing the text or image. You can drag the collection box towards the top of the screen and a trashcan appears. Drag it to the trashcan and it deletes the collection.

nope
that does not work.
try it.
try smart copy a couple of icons off your desktop and try paste that in gmail. I copied the phone icon, the message icon and app drawer icons as one image file, and when I drag and drop that to gmail, I get "[email protected]" instead of the image of the three icons!
This only works with TEXT but not with photos. Photos result in some gobbledygook nonsense word.
It works via drag n drop with the stock email app. With Gmail you need to use the share button and pick gmail. They will in both cases be sent as attachments to the email you send.

It doesn't work on Gmail, only if you create a new message. If it's an existing message you're responding to, there is no way to use smart select.
It works as an attachment so you have to save the images first if you want to attach them in Gmail to a reply. I just tested it. I used Share>ES Save To to save the selection as a png to the download directory. (I have ES File Explorer so that shows up in the share list) Then open your Gmail item and attach it from there.

Well adding attachments to Gmail is something any phone can do... As I am trying to point out, Smart Select cannot paste the contents to an existing gmail, you have to save it first, then attach manually from gmail... Not particularly fast, unique or convenient.
You have to add the attachments to gmail one at a time
The text "Smart Selections" are attached purely as images (no OCR)
So Smart Select is great for Evernote, Google Keep or Samsungs note taking apps, but not for existing Gmails! Saving to Drive also saves text smart selections as images instead of OCR text & images.
Mark.
Well I think Smart Select is a bit of a misnomer. It works by automating the process of saving the selections to png files so you can share them. That's just how it works.

the main part is multiple clipboard copying of BOTH images AND text simultaneously.
It also does OCR of text in images
SADLY with "copy to clipboard" missing as a sharing option, the inability to paste to any app that can paste images and text simultaneously, like gmail, is missing.
I've been trying to figure this out too. I have found a different way of selecting items into the clipboard. I use image clip instead of smart select. Then I hit the share button in the top right. And it automatically copies the item to the clipboard.

And from there, if you need it to be square there's an option to do so in the top left corner

Hmm
when I go to Share , and then choose none of the options and then go to Gmail and press to get contextual menu, there is no paste that comes up... so nothing gets copied into the clipboard. What steps did you take?
Even if it did, that would be one image at a time... which is ok, but not quite the nifty thing SmartSelect could be if it could copy all pix and text to clipboard!
