copy to clipboard in browser?

RAH · 04-28-2011, 08:29 AM

Is there any way on the non-rooted Color Nook to select and copy (to the clipboard) text in the browser? Especially the text on the address line of the browser?

Say, for example, you find an interesting website and want to send the address to someone in an email. If you click on the address line in the browser, it very conveniently selects the entire address. But I can find no way to copy that text to the clipboard. I tried bookmarking the page and then opening bookmarks and then looking at the properties of the bookmark. Still no way to copy the info. I tried editing the bookmark. No luck doing the copy there either.

I need a keyboard trick for copying text, it seems. Hey, how about Ctrl-C!

Anyone know how to do this?

I've never found a way to do this either.

Maybe there's a trick I can't see, but it certainly isn't the long-press + copy-to-clipboard option I am used to on my phone.
