wefwef is feeling polished - question about highlighting text for copy/paste (lemmy.ml)

submitted 1 year ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

7 comments fedilink hide all child comments

I'm enjoying the wefwef feel, but I have a question about copy/paste with comment text: is it even possible?

When I click on a given comment it collapses. When I click and drag it swipes. Is it possible in the web browser (desktop) to highlight a comment's text at all? It's not rare that I want to copy/paste some text, especially Lemmy links lately, to search/work with them. I'll also want to copy/paste quotes or other material on occasion.

So: what's the trick or instructions, if they exist, to be able to copy/paste text in wefwef?

You’re welcome! It’s a great feature borrowed from Apollo!

Well, in Apollo you could also select from the comment you are commenting from while typing.

If you must select first, the complete comment needs to be selected if you want to decide what part you cite while typing.

I'm having trouble connecting to the kbin.social instance on wefwef. Do I need to put some special address when I go through the Login->other?

Although both interoperate on the Fediverse, Kbin is not compatible with the Lemmy API. Because of that, Lemmy clients like wefwef do not work with Kbin. Artemis is looking very promising though. [email protected]
