Selection improvement

I often need to cut very large pieces of code, sometimes hundreds of lines in length. I know Textastic already has some options for selecting text areas... such as using a two-finger tap to use the dial and minimiIng the text size to view more.....

However, selecting huge code chunks is still not easy..

I suggest adding The following option to the dial...

A Start Arrow (pointing right) to begin selection at the current cursor position

..user then scrolls to new location....

User presses End Arrow (pointing left) to end selection....

Is then prompted to copy, cut etc...

here’s a rough mockup...
