hello Anna, things are trickier when readonly text has to be selected. I
am quoting from a website. those commands were written for IOS 6.01 but
are still relevant. please comment.
Copying read-only text using a bluetooth keyboard
1Press the left arrow and right arrow simultaneously to ensure quick nav
is on.
2Press left arrow or right arrow to navigate to the phrase that contains
the desired text or the beginning of a large block of desired text.
3Press VO+shift+M. You should hear three beeps.
4Adjust the rotor to the unit of text that will be used to select the
desired text: "characters", "words", or "lines".
5Use the pinch gesture to increase or decrease the amount of selected
text. Voiceover will speak text as it is added or removed to the
selection. Note that it appears there is no way to use the keyboard to
do this so you must use the pinch gesture.
6Press cmd+C to copy the selected text into the buffer. Voiceover will
announce the entire block of text that was copied to the buffer.
7Move focus to an editable text field and press up arrow and down arrow
at the same time to disable quick nav so you can edit the text in the
text field
8Move the insertion point to the desired location in the text field
using the commands defined in the Entering and editing text section of
this document.
9Press cmd+V to paste the text from the buffer into the text field.
Voiceover will read the entire block of text that was pasted into the
text field.

Hi,
As with a Windows keyboard, the up and down arrows move by line, and the left
and right arrows move by character. Add the Option key, and left and right move
by words, while up and down sometimes move by paragraph. If you use Command
with the arrows, left and right move to the beginning and end of the current
line, and up and down move to the beginning and end of the document. Add Shift
to select. Use Command instead of Control; Command-C to copy, Command-X to cut,
Command-V to paste, Command-S to save, Command-Z to undo. Command-Shift-Z is
the Redo command.
Best,
Anna
