A trick that uses the "copy and paste" function of the economy and IT iPhone more conveniently

コピー&ペースト、いわゆるコピペは、iPhoneの中でもっとも利用されている機能の1つではないか。メールの本文から検索したい文字列をコピーしてSafariにペーストしたり、サイト閲覧中に発見した気になる文章をメモアプリにコピーして残しておいたり、リンクが張られていない住所をコピーしてマップで実際の場所を調べたりと、用途はさまざま。活用の幅を考えると、コピペは基本中の基本と言える機能と言ってもいいだろう。

単にコピー&ペーストするだけなら操作を知らない人は少ないと思うが、より効率的にこれを行う方法はあまり知られていない。また、OSがバージョンアップするに従い、徐々に操作方法の選択肢は増えている。実際、9月に配信されたiOS 15、iPadOS 15では、アプリをまたがったコピペの方法に新たな操作が加わった。さらに、アプリを使って、コピーした複数のテキストを管理する方法もある。ここでは、そんなコピペにまつわる最新の裏技を紹介していきたい。

A copy and paste that straddles the app takes a lot of time.In the case of sentences, select the range you want to copy, select "Copy" or "Cut" from the menu, and end the app.After that, you need to open the app you want to paste, then select the place you want to paste the letters and select "Paste" from the menu.The flow of the operation is the same as a personal computer, and although it is rarely lost, it is a little troublesome to put out the menu.It is hard to say that it is the best way for the iPhone to be operated by touching.

A way to do such a copy -ぺ more directly was introduced on iOS 15.However, it is necessary to use both hands, so be aware that it will be a limited technique when you can operate the iPhone while placing it on a desk or table.The method is as follows:First, display the characters and images you want to copy on the iPhone.In the case of letters, press and hold after selecting the range, and press the image you want to copy.If you move your finger a little, you should be in a state of text and images.

Although it is a little tricky operation, it returns to the home screen while maintaining this text and image floating.To return to the home screen, you need to flick the screen from the bottom to the top of the iPhone without an iPhone X.If you flick with your thumb while dragging with your index finger, you can return to the home screen, but if you want to operate more reliably, you should use the other hand.When you return to the home screen, open the app you want to paste the selected text and images.

If you operate the app as it is and move it to the screen you want to paste, the " +" mark will be displayed on the end of the text and image.This is evidence that you can paste.Conversely, if you try to place an image in the column that can only enter text, this mark will not be displayed.

The operation method is a little complicated, but using this method will allow you to transfer images to apps where menus such as copies and paste are not displayed.For example, if you want to move the image displayed on the website to the photo application, some sites do not have a "Save it" menu even if you press and hold the image.In such a case, it is valid.The merit is that it is more intuitive than operating the menu, which is complicated and less.

After selecting the range, it takes a lot of time to choose "copy" or "paste" from the menu.The drags listed above are to make the operation a little intuitive, but there is also a way to copy this menu and copy and paste in one shot.That's the pinch -in and pinch -out with three fingers.This operation was introduced in iOS 13.It is not suitable for one -handed operation because it requires three fingers, but it is useful when you can use both hands, such as traveling by train.

The method is as follows.First, select the range of the text you want to copy.Next, apply the three fingers to the screen and pinch in to pinch the text as it is.The selected range is now copied.Next, open the app you want to paste and select the place to paste.Similarly, if you pinch out with three fingers, the text you just copied earlier will be attached.

If you pick up the text with three fingers and let go of it, it may be easier to understand why such a zesture.With these three fingers, it is possible to cut them as well as copies.The cut scene of the cut is limited, but it can be said that it can be used when editing characters with a memo application etc.

The operation method is as follows.It's the same as a copy until you pinch in with three fingers.After that, repeat the pinch -in with three fingers again.In other words, you use three fingers twice in a row to pinch in.Now you can cut the text.If you want to paste, pinch out with three fingers as well.It is a limited technique when you have both hands, but please use it when you want to operate quickly without tapping the menu.

Copy and paste is a mechanism that preserves text, images and images in the memory area called the clipboard in the terminal, and sticks it.However, in the case of an iPhone, if you copy another text or image, the previous one will disappear.It's a bit unfortunate that you can't use multiple texts and paste them together to prepare the text.However, that's the story of doing nothing.The clipboard can be expanded by the app.

I use the app called "Copipe +".Just open the app or display the widget, you can automatically save the copied text, and you can check the list with a widget.If you want to use the copied text, simply select the necessary items from the list of "Copy and Paste +" and copy them again to the clipboard on the iPhone.By sandwiching the application that can store multiple texts, the clipboard is expanded in a pseudo manner.

However, the widget is not a format that can be arranged along with the icon on the home screen introduced on iOS 14, but an old model lined up on the left side of the home screen.Therefore, to save the copied text, you need to end the open app.

In the case of an app called "CopyCenter2", the text that has been copied and saved can be called directly from the custom keyboard.If you copy multiple texts, you don't have to open the app itself, just call the keyboard and stick it in order.This app is compatible with new methods of iOS 14 or later.

Since multiple folders can be created in the app, for example, you can use it beyond the copy and paste frame, such as inputting personal information frequently input, such as addresses and phone numbers, and calling from the keyboard only when necessary.Available as a simple ID and password management app.If you want to use the iPhone copy and paste more conveniently, use these apps.
