[Feature Req] Ability to copy text/phone numbers, contacts & dialer improvements
I using Aqua Fish and on 2.0.4. The other day I wanted to SMS a phone number to someone whom I have as a contact, but eventually I had to memorize/write it down and retype again in a new Text message and send to the recipient. Here are my suggestions:
- Support SMS as a sharing option for contacts.
- Provide option to copy a saved contact's number from the dialer.
- Ability to copy numbers from the contact view.
- Currently, to copy a number, I need to find the contact card, edit it, open the phone number text box, put it into edit mode, tap & hold to make it select the number. Even this selects only the number in an odd way, for example, if the number is +919999999999, it neglects the preceding + and copies only the numbers. This way an invalid number is copied. Make it copy every characters in the text field by default.
- The icon for copy and paste is exactly the same. As I mentioned in the context, when I saw the edit view in the contacts card having a icon appear once I selected the number, it actually looked like the paste icon. But it was actually intended as a copy icon, which I realized only just now.
Just want to mention:

There's no copy icon. As soon as you select any text/number it copied automatically in the clipboard. In fact, when you tap on that icon it does paste the same number.
Thanks you for the info @AliNa But I'm sure you agree on the fact that these points are not obvious! A casual user might not figure these out, dont you think ?
