A BETTER WAY TO CUT/PASTE ON A TABLET

Typing on a tablet is the worst. Be it an iPad or a Galaxy, tapping on a piece of glass feels awkward because it’s non-tactile, and because the digital keyboard’s about the size of an external one, you can never decide whether to type on it like an actual keyboard, or use two fingers. Copying and pasting is an even clumsier endeavor, as you try to manipulate the cursor only to have your tablet respond as if your fingers were the size of bratwursts.
Take heart though, because a visionary named Daniel Hooper may have at least solved the pesky copy and paste issue. In a demo video posted last week, Hooper demonstrates how using tricks like two-finger gestures and the shift modifier can make copy/paste a snap on an iPad. He even pre-composed a note so users could submit the feature to Apple en masse. Way to go, internet!
