		Pxtl on Sept 24, 2023 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Text editing on mobile: the invisible problem It's actually gotten better since the clipboard key is in autocomplete bar in gboard now. If you have something in clipboard: 1. Place your cursor 2. Yes, I know you fat-fingered the exact position. Drag on spacebar to slide the cursor around (Holy crap this is the most non-discoverable feature). 3. Press the clipboard button to show clipboard menu (or, if the clipboard button isn't showing, use the 4-square menu to get it). 4. Paste the thing.

What if I don't want the keyboard monitoring my clipboard? Nothing should be monitoring my clipboard. If I choose to paste from the clicked, at that point you can look at it, not before.
