Input field does not follow standard copy-pasting behavior

[kasnerz]

The input field does not support standard Android copy-pasting features (copy / cut / paste / select all) on double-tap or using a keyboard.

I noticed that there is a paste button when the field is empty (and there is also a copy button when there is some text). But I don't think this is the best way to do it, because I often need to paste something after some existing text or copy/cut a text segment.

I just noticed that long tapping works, but at least to me it seems quite unnatural.

You are right, that there is strange behavior with input. Thank you for report, I will look at it. What keyboard are you using?

Well, I am using a custom instance of Mutliling-O keyboard which I modelled after the Messagease keyboard I used previously, but I guess I'm not a typical user 😁

However I believe the behavior of the copy/paste buttons should be fairly standard.
