Currently to select a range of text you need to use "Select from here..." and "Select to here and copy". This is not very intuitive for new users. The MagicPad style selection (http://magicpad.proximi.com/video.php) may be added to ℏClipboard for better short range selection support.

It should also detect the presence of Clippy, CopierciN and MagicPad to avoid incompatibility.

Issue 25 has been merged into this issue.

another thing, you can insert 3 option at right:

1. A popup like italian-english translator (see issues #) with option copy\cut\delete\clear clipboard
2. A selection button, click on this button and endable the selection like clippy etc.
3. The acutal two arrows

I think is better to have a "123 button style" for the switch from templates and clipboard.

The button for the selection mode allow the user to have a classic precison edit and the selection only when necessary.

sorry, issue #6

another good idea is to insert a classic undo\redo option.

I'm going to redirect the effort to another project called "command". See CommandDesignConcept for detail.

Since selection is not a "keyboard extension", I'm more in favor of creating a new project instead. No matter how it will become, MagicPad-style selection will not go into iKeyEx-dependent projects by me because that really exceeds the power a "keyboard" should have. Therefore I'm changing the title & label here.

"Command" will be free of the keyboard and should allow copying from static text as well. (But not rendered text or PDF or Word, etc, as usual) "Command" should replace the need of hClipboard as a simple copy & paste front-end, so the situation will be "Command" = Internal clipboard, "hClipboard" = MS Word's 20-entry clipboard (which I never use :p)

Issue 13 has been merged into this issue.

Yes, this is good idea. At last the keyboard is a "command shell" and te functions are executed by a separated command project that you can improve separatly.

Is a good idea if you insert an options for enable or disable some "commands/function" (like selection, undo, redio, templates etc.).

In the future the pref panel/option window and the keyboard automatically check the status (on/off) and show or hide the function on the keyboard

Work started in r77.

good, when you ave any screenshot, please post it.

@8:

But don't expect any output these 2 days, I'll be leaving my workplace and most likely won't & can't program anything iPhoneOS related. :|

( Note to myself: UITableViewCell's label is really a UILabel; UIButton's label is also a UILabel, as well as a lot others in UIKit (thanks god) mSMSBalloonTextField is a subclass of UITableCell, use the @property NSString* text property to get the text. If the text is just a UILabel (very likely not?) then ignore this fact; )

No problem, you work when you have free time.

Issue 6 has been merged into this issue.

Irrelevant on iKeyEx 0.2.
