Feature request: Allow to interact with Media, URLs and Text directly by long click/right click

Open idnovic opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

Allow us to select pictures and copy links via long click. See this picture as an example of my feed. This is not a single post but instead viewed in my feed.

Example1: I long click a picture and expect to be able to copy the picture. Instead I am presented with a context menu for the post itself as context image

Example2: I try to select the URL by long clicking it because that is how I can preview it in iOS. I expect to see a webview preview or just a preview of the url itself. I am again presented with the context menu.

My wish is that Ice Cubes becomes more context friendly. Let me interact with media and all other clickable stuff.

Lastly Example3: I want to select the text of a post because I want to use it as base for my own post. Or I just want to select a single word because I want to research it. I click the text itself and nothing happens. I long click the text itself and I am again presented with the context menu. I expected to be able to select text and parts of text. Instead I need to choose copy text in the context menu.

You know, I would love to do that, but it all boils down to the simple fact that Apple doesn't support multiple contexts in the SwiftUI List component. I know you don't care about that, but the app being fully in SwiftUI is why we have some limits. Now, Apple wants me to provide them for use cases, so I'll directly send them your issue. Thanks.
