Highlighting iOS text speed

When I’m trying to highlight text in an existing Draft so as to copy or share or whatever, the highlighting function is so fast that I can’t help but highlight 10x as much text as I need. Is there a way to slow down the speed and/or amount of text when highlighting?

I think this is my only complaint about Drafts.

I’m guessing you have “Typewriter” mode enabled in Editor Settings? It has some side effects that make selection a little wonky at times. Try turning it off and you should be fine.

I’m seeing the same behavior and don’t have “Typewriter” enabled.

I tried toggling “Typewriter”, but no change in scroll speed

Thanks

Maybe share a screen capture demonstrating this behavior? Text selection in Drafts is standard OS functionality, not really anything custom about it. I’ve not seen anything odd about it in my testing.

You can, of course, use actions to assist here…it’s pretty easy to write scripts that extend the selection, move the cursor, or just copy text fragments.
