[Feature Request] Select text in tweet rather than the whole tweet

Open scubajeff opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Currently we can only select the whole tweet

Describe the solution you'd like Let user select some text in the tweet rather than the whole tweet, so that the user can share the selected text for searching, looking up in dictionary, wikipedia etc.

To allow other apps add action when user select text in TwidereX, please also add the following to Twidere's manifest:

<queries>
 <intent>
   <action android:name="android.intent.action.PROCESS_TEXT" />
   <data android:mimeType="text/plain" />
 </intent>
</queries>

Please refer to https://developer.android.com/training/package-visibility/use-cases#custom-text-selection-actions

While we can make text content selectable, but Compose currently does not support the text selection toolbar.

Please, please enable this feature! If not by default, then at least as a selectable setting. I HATED the official twitter app for not letting me select text, but then thankfully Twidere fixed it. Now Twidere X doesn't have this feature :(
