What's the point of this great keyboard if there isn't a hardware shortcut to copy/paste text
I.E alt+v
alt+x
alt+c
(Held down of course) to paste/cut/copy

Edit: one menu button twice too many menu buttonsm...

- Well, you see, you wouldn't have this issue if you didn't use the trackpad.
But soooooo many people asked for that archaic method of input back, that Blackberry listened to their customers. People who now complain their old phones were still better, and who refuse to learn how to use modern technology.
Nevermind that the trackpad isn't made nor well optimized for the OS.
Copy and Paste on my passport is very nice and simple, if you ask me the 3 row capacitive keyboard is a great way to do things, and going back to outdated methods for ungrateful people will not fix things.
So I'm glad you have your trackpad back. Stop complaining.

And no, they shouldn't make it so while something is highlighted that those things are replaced with those functions because sometimes you highlight to replace the text with something else. Highlighting text isn't exclusively for copying and cutting you know...

Protip: So next time something has "no reason in the world", think harder and you might understand the true implications or reasoning.

Or, press and hold <x> for cut, <c> for copy, <v> for paste. Though not having a BB10 QWERTY device to check it out on, I'm not sure if those are already dedicated. The point is there are LOTS of key combinations available. You could even go so far as suggesting they allow users to define their preferred key combinations. All easy.eji930 likes this.05-12-15 04:52 PMLike 1
- Very often when people say things like this, they gave very little thought and there's plenty of reasons (Bill Mahar for example happens often). It's very rare when it's actually true. I haven't owned a keyboard BlackBerry for like 5 years, and that was an instant thought about different symbol as the reason.

So you highlight using shift-trackpad, the alt+trackpad(twice in a row), the go to where you want to paste, and alt+trackpad-trackpad again to paste. Not too bad actually, just double click the trackpad.
I am on 10.3.2.500 in case this feature is new to this build.
Posted without the aid of AutoCorrect with my physical keyboard via CB1005-12-15 05:18 PMLike 0 - Um, but pressing a regular key would start typing. Would you have to be perfectly in sync with both keys or else everything you highlighted just disappears and is replaced with whatever is the first letter you hit first by a split second??
Posted without the aid of AutoCorrect with my physical keyboard via CB1005-12-15 05:25 PMLike 0 - See, now someone is thinking. Right now, alt-trackpad brings up the side menu with copy highlighted so you just have to click again. So it's not quite as awesome as bbos, but it's only one extra step. I do wish they make it like bbos though. And paste is the same, alt-trackpad after copying will bring up the side menu with paste highlighted, so you just press the trackpad again.

And no, double tapping the menu key is not the end of the world, but it is still another step, and even more if you want to CUT rather than COPY.
Posted without the aid of AutoCorrect with my physical keyboard via CB1005-12-15 05:41 PMLike 0 - So shift+trackpad does the same thing, so hold shift and drag the trackpad to highlight, then without releasing the shift, just click the trackpad and click again and you'd copy the highlighted. The shift (or alt) + double click trackpad to paste. It's not too bad...
Posted without the aid of AutoCorrect with my physical keyboard via CB1005-12-15 05:46 PMLike 0 - Unless I'm mistaken, BBOS didn't have a separate combo for cut rather than copy either... I believe it was just one to copy, the other to paste. It's been years since I've used a BBOS device, so I could be wrong.
