You can use copy & paste in non-active text fields in Gmail, the native browser as well as supporting third-party browsers (Dolphin). This feature is available on updated Motorola Droid 1, Droid 2 and works on the Droid X browser, but not in Gmail (pending 2.2 update).
To access this feature, go to any non-active field in Gmail.
Keyboard Menu key>More>Select text
Swipe your finger over the text and it will highlight in pink. The selection will automatically copy to the clipboard after you release the swipe.
For the browsers this function is usually avalable from Menu>More
Note: You can swipe any text on the screen and it will copy to the clipboard
Active text fields in Android universally use the copy & paste function by a long press on the field and a pop-up menu.
On the Droid X you can copy and retrieve several selections at one time via a clipboard.
When I go to "more" from the keyboard menu it only offer me the options of mute and report spam.
Yes, I know how to "select text" and it copies to Clipboard but how do I access the Clipboard to see the text? Thanks.
"Paste from clipboard" from the hold and click menu that pops up from any field
