You actually can paste between words but it's hidden (like most things with mobile text editing) You need to place the text cursor between the words carefully, tap the 'teardrop' on the text handle, and that will bring up the menu to paste. (not saying that's good!)
- mikelward 3y agoThank you for teaching me this! Not very discoverable!
- cloudking 3y agoWow.. TIL you can tap the tear drop, thanks!
- exhilaration 3y agoLol, same here, I've been using Android since 2011 and had no idea it was trappable
- mackrevinack 3y agoall these years ive been typing in a letter A where i want to paste something, then double tapping the A to highlight it and then selecting paste :/
- bluGill 3y agoWhich is to say you can't as several of those actions are impossible for humans to do with enough accuracy.
- mikelward 3y agoHolding the spacebar makes moving to the correct location possible. Not easy, but possible. Edit: Ah, but then the teardrop goes away. So I guess not really a solution. Sorry.
- mikelward 3y agoJust tried this. I find tapping to bring up the teardrop sometimes changes the cursor position. It's quite unfortunate the paste button is not always shown when editing. At least the teardrop (if not an edit bar) should be shown when using long press spacebar to move the cursor.
