No way to do it with the hard keyboard?

Give Control Key Pro a try to see if it serves your needs. I don't use it, but it does do cut & paste from the hard keyboard.

My experience has been, that if the tap and hold won't work for pasting, then neither will the soft keyboard.

I wish there were a registry setting that would allow c/p all over the PPC..

Actually, the ctrl + C or V works all the time if you use the soft keyboard.

Not true, is seems that when a text box is set to get a password and displays "*" instead of the characters typed, the soft keyboard ctrl + C doesn't work...

That is a technicality considering that doesn't work on password fields in ANY windows OS by design if they use the "*" I know there may be some times when there is an exception to this also, but copy and paste of a password field is clearly a different animal.

the soft keyboard crtl+V trick is awesome when you are trying to make the mogul do stuff it wasnt "supposed" to do.

There are so many things that are "so close" on this phone. Like no CTRL hard key for Cut/Copy/Paste and Select All. And wouldn't it be nice if Windows+E went to file explorer? Or if Windows+D took you to Desktop or should I say Today screen.

Well at least it DOES HAVE a Copy/Paste. It could be worse, you could have an iphone. \

There is a hardkey for the start menu if you hit that then OK (Today should be highlighted already) that will take you to the today screen (essentially Windows, OK). Also, there is a shortcut to the file explorer. it's fn [->] (right arrow)

One solution that worked really nicely for me is to re-map the left and right softkeys so that when I press and hold them they do cut/paste...

I'm using ae button plus to do this..

Also - the pcm keyboard does this - but I can't get it to work... This keyboard is a *must-have* on these phones.. (I'm getting faster on it then the hardware keyboard..)

Just hold down the enter key on this keyboard to get the cut/paste menu.
