    Description

      Quick now supports it, Widgets should support it too.

      Only a single word can be selected by touch, the touch handles do not appear. A context menu also should be opened near the selected text.

      Long press on an input field should trigger the context menu (with the appropriate actions).
       
       
      To copy a text in Chrome or in Quick:

      1. First do a long press on a word. The word gets selected.
      2. Then allow to fine-tune the selection with text sliders
      3. Finally, show a context menu containing the "Copy" action

      To paste a text in Chrome or in Quick:

      1. Long press in a text input field shows up a context menu containing the "Paste" action.
