Mobile devices differ from computers in a huge number of various factors, including copy and paste, and, of course, many users of such devices may face a similar problem.
On mobile devices with the Android operating system, the keyboard shortcuts Ctrl + C and Ctrl + V are familiar to many users of personal computers. Naturally, copying and pasting text on mobile devices is carried out slightly differently than on computers. Copying and pasting text is a very important parameter, which, perhaps, no one can do without.
How does copy and paste work on Android?
In order to copy a text or a link on an Android mobile device, you need to click on the area that you are going to move and hold for a few seconds. After that, a certain area on the screen will be highlighted. If you need large text, and not just one selected word, then you can easily move the special sliders located on the left and right. After you select the desired fragment, click on the "Select" button and select the "Copy" item. Next, you need to open the document in which you are going to insert the text. Press and hold for a few seconds on an empty field of the document until the context menu appears. Then you need to click on the "Paste" button to place the copied text.
Copy and paste software for Android
It is worth noting that to simplify the copy and paste procedure, a huge number of various applications have been developed for users of mobile devices based on the Android operating system. For example, a user can download and install a free copy and paste program. After installation, the user can see a new icon, which usually appears only while working with a browser or text document. Sometimes it can be found in the Share category. It should be noted that when working with a browser, only the link to the page with the material on it, and not the text, will be copied to the clipboard.
Naturally, the Copy and Paste program is not the only one. There is another good analogue - Clipper. This software is nothing more than a clipboard manager. It allows you to store certain copied fragments of text, edit and, of course, copy them. It works on the same principle as standard copying on a mobile device with Android OS, except that a special icon of this program will appear in the menu.
All programs can be found and downloaded for free in the Google Play Market.
