I posted this on Applevis but tend to get more responses here so here goes.
first I'm using a jailbroken iPhone 6 Plus with iOS 8.1.1 with Alex as my voice.
1. How do you insert a letter if you are typing and you screw up using the keyboard on the iPhone 6 plus? I've had this explained to me on twitter but really don't understand it. something about depending on which way you flick when you are on the roder? I have characters and words in my roder. I know how to activate the roder to get to the word or characters, and I know how to flick up and down to go forward or back on each. That's the easy part. Its editing to get the character or word where I want that I cant figure out.
2. If I want to select a word to perform an action on it, such as copying or deleting it, is there a way to do selection on the iPhone? how would I select a word then copy, paste or delete things?
3. i hear you are suppose to be able to hold the delete butten down on the phone to have it delete characters really fast. this never works for me. If I tap delete, it deletes one character at a time. If I hold the delete butten down, it just sits there and does nothing. If I want to do continual deletion, i have to keep tapping the butten over and over. Is it because I am jailbroken that this does not work, or am i doing something very wrong?
Thanks,
John
Try to answer your questions one by one, although i'm on cough meds at the moment, i
hope my explaination will make sense.
With editting words or character, flick up and down. if you flick up and incert a word or a
character, it will be before the word or character that is already there. If you flick down,
your voiceover kerser will be after the word or character.
As far as select/copy/cut/pace and all sorts of edit stuff is concern, on your rotor, go to
'edit' and you will find it there.
Lastly, with the deleting text, its depends on your typing mode. Direct touch typing and
touch typing is different than the hold and delete all for standard typing. For direct touch
typing and touch typing, i found that the only way is to keep pressing on deletes for each
and every character. Or, select all and delete it as a full text.
Maybe I need to have somebody do it with me so I get the how to insert thing. Ok that explains it. I am using direct touch typing here.
