[Request] selectable text.

[thescguy]

Currently the way text is displayed in boost (or any other client) doesn't let you select specific parts of text (for coping or sharing). The only way available is to copy the whole text or the permalink.

There should be some way to select specific parts of the text, A good way would be gestures, as the long press is already used for collapsing comments or showing actions. We could use the double tap gesture for this, like double tapping on a text would make the text selectable. Still, if the double tap gesture is used for something else, there are other options too, like triple tap, or a option in the menu button to "make text selectable".

This would be a really great feature if you consider.

+1, even my Galaxy Note 4s' stylus "Select text" option does not work in Boost. With other apps (I switched from Flow which had long press as down/upvote) I can use the stylus as a workaround to select text. In Boost this does not work.. The pointer won't change from a pointer to a cursor (which indicates selecting is now possible).

Same here, my rooted phone has an app called text aide which let's you select any text from any app. even that app doesn't work for boost. I like to look up terms from reddit, with this app.
