Any way we can get right click back? now we just get the option for contextual search, cannot copy the text (without selecting the text and doing a Ctl-C) or google search real quick and it gets annoying.

Not sure what you mean but right click is the same as it always has been. Right click is as system thing, nothing to do with the forum. Context search pops up when you highlight something, not right click.

the fact that you can't select multiple emails in the inbox by dragging your fingers down the list annoys me.. anyways to re-enable that or is that gone because of touchflow?
In your inbox go Menu > Select Messages
Yes, I know thats there, thanks, but I need the actual feature itself back not a work around.

You can either hold down the shift key and tap or disable finger scrolling in the registry. Search around for it, it's on here somewhere.
Hi,
I hope you can help with this if you know the answers.
1. From the HTC Desire manual page 65
If you see the word you want highlighted in green or orange, you can simply tap the space bar to insert the word into your text.

Can you disable this? So, when pressing the space bar, it wont take the highlighted word. I saw in the past a setting for this, but I cannot find it back.
2. Is that true that text prediction is not available on certain apps?
For example: Market, when I am searching for something, the text prediction does not popup.
Can we enable this? I guess ... not.

sorry i cant help you i guess, i also wish i knew how to enable the prediction everywhere and i think it will be available once it will be rooted?
With regards to text prediction not working in certain places, I think in a place the Android Market it's understandable because plenty of the apps aren't proper words or names so text prediction would be pointless.
A predictive search feature like you get in Google trying to guess what you are going to search based on popularity, but ignoring whether it's a proper word or not... Now that would be preferable in the Market.
Is there any way to get copy/paste functionality on a non-sense 2.2 rom. Its killing me that I dont have this, really the only thing missing from CM6 and holding me back from it as a daily driver.
Any thoughts would be appreciated!
Copy/paste should work just fine in CM6. Works for me, anyway.
Just long press on the text you want and you should get the menu with copy/cut options.
Not to hijack this thread, but I've asked elsewhere and there doesn't appear to be a solution but I figured I'd give the inquiry another go...
Is anyone aware of a method to use either a multitouch keyboard or perhaps a specific pinch/zoom gesture to copy/past/cut text on the fly?
I really miss being able to do so easily on my G1's physical keyboard...and highlighting specific text with the trackball.
maybe i am a roflcopter, but I cannot get a copy paste prompt to open after a longpress? Does anyone know what I could be doing wrong?

Where are you trying to copy text from?
I am able to long-press on any text field (SMS, Address Bar, etc.) and get a pop-up menu that includes: Select text, Select all, Cut, Copy, Paste, etc.
I am running CM6 RC1 on my EVO.

You need to menu -> select text.
Swype has a fairly easy-to-use (though not as easy as SenseUI) select text method. Just Swype from the Swype key (the one in the bottom-left corner with the i above the Swype logo) to the SYM key. This will open the third keyboard in Swype; the editing keyboard.
Hi , is there any plugin / program that allow me to copy and paste text on webpage or gmail via S Pen? I don't need any other function from S Pen.
There is no need for a plugin or program. This Amazing Phone is capable of doing just what you are asking on its own.
Here's what you need do to copy and paste in Gmail or a Web Page using your S-Pen;
Hold the S-Pen button in, tap at the starting point of what you want to copy (select) and drag the pen to the right a little and lift pen of the screen. You will now see selected text and cursors..
Manipulate the cursors so that the required text to be copied is all highlighted. Once it is highlighted there will be a menu at the bottom of the screen if you are holding the phone in normal position. If in landscape mode it'll be at the top of the screen. Now just click on the copy icon and the selected text will be copied to your clipboard. Now that it is on your clipboard you can paste it where you need to paste it, Gmail, text messaging ect. Hope I helped.

worth noting that text select doesnt work on chrome, but that seems to be an inherent problem in chrome rather than in touchwiz. works on the stock browser

I didn't know that Thanks.. I use and love Chrome on my laptop. I am stock GN2..
I was wondering why the stock browser has an incognito feature as if it was Chrome. Do know know anything about this?..
I don't mean to get off topic but I was going to create a thread to ask this question. Now that you have mentioned Chrome I am curious..

the stock browser has incognito mode because Android was created by Google,though I'm not sure why they're different apps. I would have thought they consolidate it into one browser. the chrome browser seems to be a bit buggy so i switched back into using the stock browser. the stock browser also has pop out mode which is neat, but I'm not sure how to activate it on demand

When using OfficeSuite with the QuickSpell package installed, a misspelled word gets the red squiggly line underneath, but I don't see any way to get alternate or suggested spellings.
Anyone know how to do this?

There's no official way... I googled it, since I use the Kingsoft Office..... But there's no way, at least no official way.

Really? Bummer. The interaction design leads the user to think that if they tap or long press the red squiggly line, that spelling suggestions would be presented. Kinda misleading.
Figured it out - totally by accident....
If you go to a word that is marked as misspelled, you need to:
- tap the word
- select the menu icon (the three dots)
- select "Edit"
- select "Check Spelling"
This opens a sub-pane presenting the app's full spelling functionality.
Works - but this is very buried in the user interface - no where near where a user might expect it, which would be right when you tap the word. This has become a standard convention in Android. Hope the Devs address this.
