So I read this article with my iPad and of course that made me immediately start exploring the text selection within the article - it appears that it has changed in iOS 17 Safari and applies several ideas from the article. * Immediately start dragging. When you pause it immediately enters text selection. If you move slowly you get the loupe otherwise it starts jumping word by word in the text * When you release you get the popup options to do something with your text * Holding the end of the selection and moving slowly gives you fine control over the cursor. * When editing this comment, it doesn’t immediately jump to selection but gives you cursor control right away after long press with the magnified loupe. Move fast enough and the magnifier disappears. This is different behavior from long pressing the space bar. * Double tap and drag gives you the selection behavior. * Double tap and no drag selects the word. Actual coding on a touchscreen is still impossible even with the articles improvements. I’d like to see more work on that. I wonder if speaking to our devices inaudibly could be the long term way forward.
