Copy/Paste Plain text without the formatting - ios

i have to copy/paste text from Safari and Notes to the Mail App multiple times per day. Previous IOS update only pasted plain text without any formatting, but they changed it now.
Every time i paste text in the Mail App it comes with the formatting which is not what i need. I am familiar with COPY from the "Share" button. But, it would be much easier if there was a way to change something in settings to paste text without formatting using the regular copy/paste buttons?

Quickly tap anywhere on the text field of the text you want to
copy.
Choose Select All from the contextual menu.
Choose Share from the contextual menu.
4-ChoseCopy from the Share Sheet.

In desktop Mail App there is an option to delete formatting if you can use desktop for that. Method i use on phone is that i'm just pasting it into search and copying it again.

Make bullet/num/check lists in UITextView

I am working on text editor app and using UITextView for this. Does anybody know how to make ability to do bullet/num/check lists in it? Any examples/tutorials?
Note: I need to do this as a part of text editor, so user can select some area, tap on according button and enable/disable lists formatting.
Based on my research for similar behavior (e.g. Bullet list and Numbered list in UITextView ), I would expect that there is no easy way to do it. I expect that you will have to use textView(_:shouldChangeTextIn:replacementText:) to hack currently added text to manually add bullets/numbers - e.g., if the user set that she currently wants to use unordered list, you will have to detect a new line added in shouldChangeTextIn and manually add there the bullet and indentation.
Another approach which you might consider (its applicability depends on your requirements) is to customize existing open source rich text editor. In my case I was able to get close enough to what I needed using RichEditorView, which uses HTML+CSS as an underlying technology (so to be able to do customizations, you need to know a bit about JavaScript, CSS and HTML).

I want to put my custom emojies over custom keyboard. Using above reference project I can able to achieve same thing but in this there is one problem exist and that is very frustrating for end user.
Problem: To place any emoji into text area, first you need to click on emoji from keyboard then Copy button is available for you, you need to press that.
Then you need to touch on text area, at that time another button with label Paste is available on screen. You need to press this button to get actual emoji in text area. I want to remove this.
Following image gives you more idea:
Target: I want to implement, you just need to touch on keyboard emoji and it will directly paste on text area. Like we are doing in Skype or any other messaging application.

implement select/cut/paste in TextArea

How can I implement the tradition menu items to copy / cut / paste / selectAll
in Codenameone TextArea
I can do these things if I happen to remember the keystrokes, but I don't
see any hooks to do them programmatically.
Since on-device editing is native the cut/copy/paste work thru touch and the menu will implicitly appear. So normally you wouldn't want to do this programmatically in Codename One, e.g. right now we don't have any API to get the currently selected text either since that concept is pretty different between platforms.
There are Display.copyToClipboard & Display.getPasteDataFromClipboard but those aren't for the text field selection purpose. They are rather for the use case of moving data within/between apps.

Xcode 5.1 method search only allows one character?

I've recently upgraded to Xcode 5.1 and I'm experiencing the most annoying bug. The instant search or method search dialog that allows you to search the methods on the given source file you are looking at isn't allowing me to enter more than one character. I have large source files and I tend to rely on that a lot. Any idea why this might be happening. I've tried re-installing Xcode (simply be dragging it in the trash).
You can find the search field I'm talking about by clicking the method as shown in the screenshot and simply typing something.
When I type the character gets replaced with the last letter entered.
(This one's just informational: I don't think it will fit in a comment, and want to report on what suggestions worked and didn't.)
I ran into this same problem. I accidentally typed some other key combo when trying to do Ctrl+6 to open the Document Items dropdown, and it was all out of whack after that.
As clance_911 mentioned, the filtering would work after clicking in the search box. So for example, to filter for "init", I could hit Ctrl+6 to open the Document Items, type "i" to start filtering (but then any subsequent letters would replace the i), click into the search text box, and continue typing the "nit". This works, but it's a pain.
As Moze pointed out, this seems to be specific to external displays. Sure enough, it worked fine on my MacBook display, but if I moved Xcode over to the external display, it stopped working. In my case, dragging the menu bar in the display Arrangements settings (to make the external monitor the main display) did solve the problem: the filter worked correctly with Xcode in either window. Sorry, Etienne :-(
The other solution that worked for me was simply closing the MacBook: use it in clamshell mode with only the external display. This is my normal setup anyway, but I know that's not ideal for everyone.
It happens if Xcode is open in external display that is not main display.
To fix it, open display setting's Arrangement tab and drag menu bar to display that you are working on.

Show keyboard according to font selection ios

I want to create a Alphabet (Character) tracing and learning app.Which will be multilingual app.The font for different language will be attached in app resource folder. First user select language and fond. According to language selection the keyboard will be shown.Then user enter a character and trace. Is it possible to show keyboard according to language selection.Or I have to create custom keyboard.Please suggest me.
You have no control over which keyboard gets shown, unless you create a custom one, unfortunately. If you had control, you might request to show a keyboard that the user has not enabled in their settings and this would cause a problem. The only keyboards you can request to open are the ones listed in UIKeyboardType
