Select text improvment

[xelahot]

When trying to select text on PC, we can set the cursor somewhere, then we can click again and drag to select the text we want. It would be cool to have an option for this behaviour. That would feel more like coding on PC.

Right now we have to double click some word then adjust both sides of the selection and its annoying compared to codding on PC.

Nice idea, I just don't know how to acomplish this currently...

I have a solution. Two drag "nipple" buttons. Both move the cursor, but one "hovering", and the other continuously selecting.
For lack of a better term, these thinkpad nipple-like buttons, would be over the screen keyboard, at the center, side by side, and they would work like trackpads. Up-down movement moves the cursor line by line, and left-right movement moves character by character.
Not my idea. It is the solution used in the "Mobile C Compiler" app by 'Jeong Seop Lee'.

Cool idea... definetly real looking GitHub account which has only Nyxian starred...

I never would have thought that I could ever be seen as a bot. You could say I am simply a bit autistic. I never use Github, and programming is just my favorite hobby, and sadly I don't have much time for it, so I can only code in my phone, a jailbroken SE 2gen on iOS 16.4.
I like a lot and use very often your Frida Code Manager, and I starred Nyxian just when you started your project to receive updates by email. I actually am very exited for the jailbroken version, as I don't have a developer account, such that I can start using Nyxian at last. I would feel hypocritical if I wrote "less correctly" to not appear as a bot, but that is the way I like it, I suppose. Anyhow; I want you to know that I am a very big fan of what you do, and I am hopeful of Nyxian getting more and more robust with time.
Cheers

Ohh im sorry, I thought you were a troll account made by some kids in the jailbreak community.. like khcrysalis. Very cool to see a FCM user from the old days here! Shall I implement the old FridaCodeManager project format using a compatibility layer into Nyxian?

Btw, I actually completed my university project on DSP using FCM on a 16.x iOS iPad Pro (didn't have a mac or a dev acc at the time). Had to rely on FCM, swift, accelerate… to make it work (still remember pain in the ass when theos worked like shit, or maybe I'm just stupid, because I spent more time fixing random theos (and related stuff) errors (like when you clearly define one architecture in the makefile, and output is almost right, except this shit switches endian for some reason. So many funny things), than on my project. This didn't happen with FCM). I appreciate FCM, and honestly, I wouldn't mind at all if you brought back the old project format (compatibility layer) and full jailbreak support
