Well, I don't do a lot of it because I don't write long messages on the phone,
but I do know that control C and control V still work as they do in Windows.
Sorry, I just do not use the phone for a writing tool and one reason is because
editing is a royal pain, if I ever get Siri things might change but then maybe
not.

Hi,
How do you do text selecttion with a bluetooth keyboard, and by what units of
text can you select?
Thanks.

The edit function and cut and paste on the phone itself is junk, said from
someone who much prefers using a keyboard when needing to edit where ctrl v and
c work and where deleting works with separate keys so you know exactly if you
are going the right direction. I very much hate editing on the phone itself,
if Vokul makes a mistake, in fact, I just leave it there, and if I make a
horrible on typing I just delete the whole thing and try again. I don't do
lengthy messages or e-mail on the phone, only mail I get is to send phone
numbers to the address connected to the phone because reading e-mail on the
phone is not for me at least a pleasant experience. I have lots of uses for
the phone but editing, cutting and pasting are not among them unless I am bored
and feel I have nothing else to do.
I like the phone and it goes everywhere with me but those functions and the
rotors are my least favorite. Practice in those cases does not make perfect,
just frustration.

Yes, as above, make sure you are going in the right direction.
When I first got my iPhone I thought the edit function was junk until I
realized my mistake.

Hi all,
I often get really confused when I try to edit the text that I've typed.
For example, when I want to edit a text message, I swipe down with one
finger and VO reads the text character by character.
Now, if I want to delete a character, I double tap the delete button.
So, sometimes the character that VO last spoke gets deleted and at
other times the character which was immediately before the character
that VO last spoke gets deleted.
So, how exactly does this work?
Let's say I've made a spelling mistake and have written my name as R A
H O U L instead of R A H U L.
So, where should I press the delete button to delete the O?
Thanks in advance for your assistance.
Best,
Rahul
