hey i'm trying to select link text in opera, but it doesn't give the option. also tried ctrl c, but those commands aren't working. obviously i'm kinda new

how would i go about doing that?

also, is there an autocomplete option for any windows mobile browsers?

tap and hold on screen, then chose "text selection on"... should address your issue.

i've done that. it highlights the link text, but it doesn't allow for the option to copy when i hold down the stylus. it gives me the option to open in a different tab.

are there any copy commands like ctrl+c? i tried this, but it didn't work. maybe it's a different command I dunno.

i'm sorry are you going after the link or the text to the link? only workaround i see is to open in new tab, then copy the link from there...

well here's the skinny. i sent myself an email from the work pc so i can recieve it in opera without having to type it in. so it was the link, but google made the link different when clicked and it was showing a mobile version of the website thru google. i was still on google, but it was showing me portions of the site... kind of annoying unless you need it like that, which i don't. so i tried selecting the link text which i just copied from the browser window on the work pc and emailed myself, but when i held the stylus down it didn't give the option to copy, just open in new tab even though i had the link text highlighted. I hope you can follow

I just wonder if there is a keyboard shortcut on my touch pro or in windows mobile that allows copying text whenever you have it highlighted.
