They’re really not at all painful on an iPad with a keyboard. I’m going to guess that your experience is based on a much older version of iOS, but it’s been quite nice for the past few years (and it’s evolving still).
Another option: perhaps you’ve only ever learned to do those things with a multi-button mouse? For my experience, I’m extremely comfortable with a variety of keyboard-based systems (especially Emacs), and the iPad interface is totally usable.
- ghostcluster 9y ago> I’m going to guess that your experience is based on a much older version of iOS, but it’s been quite nice for the past few years I have an iPad and iPhone running iOS 11. I'm not alone in thinking that what should be a basic feature like text selection is awful. From 10 days ago in the iOS subreddit, "Text Selection is Broken in iOS": https://www.reddit.com/r/ios/comments/7mcvhu/text_selection_broken_in_ios/ https://www.reddit.com/r/ios/comments/7mcvhu/text_selection_... > How can something so important & basic literally be broken in the most recent version of iOS?! > It’s been like this for what seems like forever. Having to select some text an upwards of 10 times is pretty annoying. It seems other people feel the same way.
- allover 9y agoReddit thread you linked is about basic text selection via touch. GP is talking about text selection using an attached/bluetooth keyboard.
