This Is the Most Frustrating Thing About iOS 13

How to select, copy, and paste text in iOS 13 and iPadOS 13

Apple has improved the ways you can quickly select, copy, and paste text, but the new gestures take some learning — especially if you regularly used the previous ones.

William Gallagher for AppleInsider:

There’s no question, Apple has made text selection and editing faster and better with iOS 13 and iPadOS 13. With a series of simple gestures and taps, you can now rapidly copy and paste text, and…

Thanks to iPadOS, Apple’s iPad can finally replace a laptop for most people

iPadOS introduces powerful new ways to work with multiple files and documents on iPad, and opens up new creativity and productivity possibilities using Apple Pencil.

Abu Zafar for Lifehacker:

Thanks to the upcoming release of iPadOS, the iPad is one step closer to becoming a viable laptop replacement for most people.

I’ve been testing the iPadOS beta on my iPad Mini for the past few weeks, and…

So I've got to the part of the story where I get to introduce THE HOUSE (for real this time, since I got sidetracked in fixing plot knots last time).

No joke, The Piece Manor is a literal Chekov's ARMORY.  So many things that will come in handy in very specific situations. The result of inheriting a three floor mansion from Heroines who fought serious baddies for centuries.

    Flávia takes the steps two at a time as she ascends to the first floor of the mansion. Eugene is right behind her, Lisa remains in the dining room to examine the watches left behind. Dan and Shelly have gone out to Dan’s truck to bring in the food he brought with him.     “Nice of Dan to bring dinner.” Eugene breaks the silence in the hall. Flávia nods and lets her eyes adjust to the dark, “Light switch.” He points in front of her to a square on the wall. The face of it was brass with heavy black buttons in pairs.     Flávia thanks Eugene and presses in the button nearest to her. A light behind her illuminates the stairwell Eugene looks up the next flight of stairs. He sees a pair of double doors and scratches his chin. “I wonder.” He goes and opens them, and laughs. Flávia joins him and sees the rub. The doors lead to a walk way that overlooks the ballroom.     “Very nice.” She agrees and they move down the walkway and Eugene peeks in at the four rooms that line the other side. Each contains a comfortable, if rouge, interior. “Looks like they’re meant for entertaining.” She elbows Eugene and his grin matches hers.     They reach the end and open another set of double doors, to another dark hallway that T-junctions in front of them. Eugene presses all the buttons, and light floods the hall. “Ow.” Flávia cringes at the sudden burst of light. Eugene walks ahead and starts to open doors.     To the right of the junction there are just two doors, and a window at the end of the hall. Flávia opens on, to the right, and sees a strange sort of contraption. “Eugene?” He walks up to her and examines the arrangement.     “Whoa.” He moves in to examine the device. It is very much a conjoined combination of stringed instruments. The fret board of an acoustic guitar is present as well as what might be a bass, and a long narrow neck with only three strings. The crest of harp arcs like a wing over the arrangement and the many arms of the device sit idle. There’s chairs around the plinth it sits on, but also horns that wait, wide, for some sound.     “Wonder what’s next?” Flávia asks rhetorical. She leaves Eugene to gaze at the machine and opens the door across from it.

Enable text selection in QuickLook

Apple’s QuickLook featurein OS X is a convenient option to have when browsing for files on your Mac’s hard drive. By simply pressing the space bar with an item highlighted, you can view information about it, or see its contents. If you use this to preview the contents of text files, then you might find some added convenience from the hidden option of being able to select and copy text from within…

I find the default text selection style quite boring and not that pretty on most pages… here is a tip to be able to make it look better and more in sync with your theme :)

→ Go to the " Edit HTML " section of your blog.

→ Find the " <style type="text/css"> " in the code, it is usually not that far from the beginning of the code.

→ Then, just paste the text below right after " <style type="text/css">  " :

::selection {     background: #000000;     color: #ffffff; } ::-moz-selection {     background: #000000;     color: #ffffff; }

As you may have find out, the first color is for the background of the selection while the second one is for the text itself.

• Some nice trick : you can make the background color transparent just by changing the color code by " transparent ", isn’t that awesome?:)

::selection {     background: transparent;     color: #ffffff; } ::-moz-selection {     background: transparent;     color: #ffffff; }

I hope this can help some of you to create even more amazing blogs~!
